Saturday mornings in Metuchen belong to the market by the train station — tomatoes, dogs on leashes, the 9:40 rolling through. A few blocks off, Johnny's Landscaping is already at it: mower laying clean lines across a front lawn, trimmer working around the maple and the mailbox post, edger cutting the hard seam where grass meets sidewalk. There is feeding when the season calls for it, seed in the bare corners, mulch in the beds, and the spring and fall cleanups that reset a yard down to bare ground. By noon the clippings are gone and the lawn looks like it was drawn rather than cut. Small work carried all the way to the edges is what makes a whole block look good.
