Oak Tree Road stays lit and busy into the evening, but turn a block off it and Iselin goes quiet — a run of small front lawns, clipped hedges, driveways set close enough to shake hands. Buddy's Landscaping LLC works those side streets, where a yard is measured in feet and every one of those feet shows. Tight lots reward attention: the mower turning without scuffing, the trimmer following the walk and the porch step, the edge cut so the lawn stops exactly where the concrete starts. Twice a year come the cleanups, winter's debris out in spring and the leaves off in autumn before they mat down over the grass. Small yards, handled properly, make a whole block look looked-after.
