At three in the morning Linden is a flat white grid with plow lights moving slowly through it. Bush Landscaping Contractors Llc runs those hours — driveways opened before the first alarm sounds, walks and steps shoveled down to bare concrete, salt laid while the surface is still cold enough to hold it. Storms here come up off the water and can turn wet and heavy inside an hour, so the job gets done in passes instead of waiting on the sky. By the time traffic thickens along Edgar Road, aprons are cut clean to the curb, the mailbox is reachable, and car doors swing open without a fight. Driving back past a street you cleared, watching people pull out on time, is its own kind of morning.
