East of town the old sand pits along Menantico Creek have gone to water, ringed with pitch pine, and late-summer evenings out there come on slow and gold. Chavez Landscaping & Maintenance LLC works the Millville yards on the way back from that quiet — mowing, edging, trimming, keeping lawns on a steady rotation so nothing gets ahead of the season. The sandy ground drains within the hour after a thunderstorm, which means the crew can be back on the grass the same afternoon while heavier soil elsewhere is still soft. Spring and fall cleanups clear the needles and leaves that South Jersey wind stacks against a fence line. A crisp edge along a walkway is a small thing that changes how an entire property reads.
