Cold Soil Road runs past orchard rows where the apples come in heavy every fall, and that corner of Lawrence Township still keeps a farm's sense of timing. Eli Landscaping LLC works to the same clock — grass cut when it needs cutting, beds cleared in spring, leaves gathered before the first hard frost sets them down. The edge along a walk gets cut clean, because a lawn is read by its borders before anything else. Come January the truck goes out with a blade on the front, opening driveways and salting the path to the door. The early hours are nobody's favorite, and the open driveway afterward is worth every one of them.
