The first cut of the year in Milford usually happens in April, on grass still wet from a night beside Hakihokake Creek. Lawn Tech runs that opening pass and every one after it — mowing, trimming, edging, and clearing the branches and matted leaf that winter left behind. Hunterdon soil and river air keep the turf coming right up until fall, so the season is long and the rhythm matters more than any single visit. Weeks later the same yard has an even nap to it and a hard line where it meets the drive. That is the whole ambition: a lawn that looks like someone is keeping up with it, because someone is.
