The ground above Saffin Pond rises higher than anywhere else in Morris County, and snow arrives here first and stays here longest. Talon Landscaping meets it with plowing that clears drives and parking areas, hand work on the walks and steps, and salt laid on the pitches that glaze over after dark. When the ground thaws, the schedule flips to mowing, trimming, edging and the cleanups that open and close the growing season. Jefferson runs from lakeshore to ridgeline, and a route across it covers more weather than a map lets on. Whatever the month is asking for, the property is squared away before it's needed.
