Woodwild Park holds a pocket of real woodland inside Metuchen, and every April its floor turns green weeks ahead of the lawns. Landscape Design Strategies works those lawns on either side of the awakening — the first cut that changes a yard's whole posture, edging along walks and drives, trimming the corners a mower can never reach. Summer runs on steady mowing and feeding, seed where the borough's canopy has thinned the turf, and mulch worked smooth into the beds. Autumn ends in cleanup, leaf after leaf, until the ground is bare and ready to rest. A lawn in a town this tree-heavy asks for attention, and attention is the entire job.
