An August afternoon on the Amboy Avenue side of the borough is all cicada racket and heat sitting still under the trees — and grass that keeps growing no matter how hot it gets. This is a Metuchen lawn care operation built for exactly that stretch of the year: weekly mowing, trimming along the fence lines, edging the drive, and feeding worked in so a heat-tired lawn comes back green instead of going brown. Beds get mulched, thin spots get seeded, and the autumn cleanup lifts the leaves off before they mat down for the winter. Spring opens it again with the first cut and a rake through what the cold left behind. Yards this size are seen up close, so they get finished all the way.
