First light in Neptune City comes up over the ocean side of town and finds every lawn silvered with dew, the schoolyard grass soaked through, the streets still quiet. Sanchez Landscaping Services is out not long after, mowing, edging and trimming yards across the borough while the air is still cool. Cutting early gives you clean lines and grass that stands back up by noon. There is something steadying about a route that begins in that light and leaves a string of finished lawns behind it. By the time the town is properly awake, half the block is already done.
