Wood Avenue wakes early in Linden — bakery lights on, the first southbound train pulling out, the sidewalks still dark with dew. Ace Lawn Care LLC works that hour, when a lawn is holding the night's damp and the mower leaves a clean wet line behind it. Mowing, edging, trimming along the walks, spring and fall cleanups that reset a yard down to the fence posts. By mid-morning the grass lies in even bands and the sidewalk edge runs as straight as a chalk line. There is real satisfaction in reaching the end of a block, turning around, and seeing every front yard sitting true to the street.
