Some spring mornings the Raritan lays fog right up over the low streets, and the town returns one block at a time as it burns off. Merlin Landscaping starts in that quiet: mowing, edging, string trimming, mulch, hedge work, and the cleanups that bracket the growing season. A lawn cut early, while the air is still cool, holds its color better all the way through the day. The satisfaction is a simple one — a straight line where grass meets pavement, repeated the length of the property. New Brunswick, Highland Park, Milltown and North Brunswick fall inside the usual loop.
