Fog collects in the Millstone bottomland on the township's eastern edge and lifts by mid-morning, leaving the grass heavy with wet. Chanez Lawn Care LLC times the Hillsborough route around it, mowing once the blades dry, then trimming the fence lines and edging where lawn meets curb. Beds get mulched when spring opens them up, and leaves come off the turf when the maples finally let go. The pleasure of the work sits in the last look back — stripes running true, no clippings across the walk, the whole property squared away. Grass moves fast in this valley soil, and keeping pace with it is the job.
