Midsummer in Bergen-Lafayette holds heat in the brick until well past dark, and everything green in it is green on purpose. Hibiscus Planters tends that intention: lawns mowed and trimmed, weeds pulled before they take a bed, plantings around a stoop cut back so they read as shape instead of sprawl. Water early, work in the shade, be finished before the sidewalk gets loud. Over near Berry Lane Park the small front yards do most of the softening a street ever gets. Keeping them is quiet work with a result anyone walking by can see.
