In July the light on Lake Centennial goes long and gold around six, and the mowers are quieting down for the day. Lakes Landscaping keeps the grass of Medford Lakes through that season — the mowing, the trimmed edge along a gravel drive, the string-trim work around cabin posts and dock stairs where a mower will never reach. Sandy soil and pine shade make for a stubborn lawn, so the care is patient: cut at the right height, clear the clippings, come back on schedule. Autumn brings the needle-and-oak-leaf fall and the cleanup that puts a yard to bed. Small borough, many small greens, every one of them worth doing well.
