Before sunrise the ship lights out on the Arthur Kill sit low and steady, and Linden's streets are still empty enough to hear a shovel scrape. Santos Landscaping Services is out in that hour through the winter — plowing driveways, cutting walks and steps down to the surface, spreading salt where the runoff freezes again by afternoon. When the season turns, the same routes come back in daylight for mowing, edging, trimming and the cleanups that clear what the cold left behind. Weather off the water here rarely does anything cleanly, which is why the return trip is part of the plan. Either job ends with someone able to step outside and go.
