Island Heights sits up on the north bank where the Toms River widens toward Barnegat Bay, and the light coming off that water is nothing like the light a few miles inland. Bayside Landscaping mows the lawns on those blocks, where the soil runs sandy and the breeze carries salt across the grass all afternoon. Turf on the water side dries fast and takes a cut cleanly, so the lines hold their shape until the next visit. Mowing, trimming and edging keep the small borough yards sharp, and cleanups in spring and fall clear out whatever the wind has piled into the corners. Nothing elaborate — grass kept even, edges kept true, and the drive swept before the truck pulls away.
