About Mark's Lawn Services

Shade falls in long bars across the front lawns on Hightstown's older streets, where the porches are deep and the trees are older than the houses. Grass under that canopy asks for a different touch than grass in the open, and Mark's Lawn Services cuts it accordingly, week after week through the season. The edges get kept crisp along brick walks and stone curbs, and the trimmer goes in close to porch skirting and fence pickets where a mower has no business. Spring opens with a cleanup — winter's twigs and matted leaves off the turf so the green comes up even. By November the maples have surrendered, and the leaves are moved out before they smother anything. A borough yard is judged from the sidewalk, and that is the view the work aims at.
