Late August, the light over Crescent Cove goes long and gold around six, and Hopatcong lawns show every stripe you put in them. Avallone Lawn Care mows for that hour — pass lines even, borders trimmed close, clippings off the walk before the truck moves on. Summers up here ask a lot of turf, between the heat that settles in the coves and the shade that never quite leaves the north side of a house. Steady mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups are how a yard comes through it looking cared for. Nothing complicated; just a lawn that looks right when you pull in.
