Ho-Ho-Kus keeps its old bones — the Hermitage back behind its trees, low stone walls along the lanes, maples that were already tall when the borough was mostly orchard. Hood Brothers Landscaping & Design tends the lawns and grounds set inside all that: regular mowing, trimming and edging, bed maintenance, and the long autumn business of getting leaves off the turf before they mat it down. October here drops everything at once, and there is an art to timing the cleanup so the grass goes into the cold breathing. A lawn that comes through winter healthy is made in November, not April. The payoff arrives later — that first thick green against gray stone, before anyone else's yard has woken up.
