The North Branch of the Metedeconk runs through Lakewood on its way toward the bay, and the yards on its low ground stay damp long after the higher streets have dried out. E&E Landscaping reads that difference every week — mowing when the ground will carry a machine, trimming and edging so the lines stay sharp, hauling the cuttings rather than leaving them to mat. Autumn means leaves in real volume, cleared before rain glues them flat to the turf. When the cold sets in, the same crew turns to plowing driveways and walkways and treating the spots where water likes to pool and freeze. River side or ridge side, the aim is a property that looks handled.
