The first cut of April along Elizabeth Avenue smells like the whole season arriving at once. Excellent Landscaping Llc runs mowing and trimming from that morning straight through the last warm week of October, then trades the deck for the plow and works the same driveways and walks in the dark half of the year. Southern Newark runs flat toward the Hillside line, which gives the wind room and piles snow against every hedge and gate it can find. Grass here grows hard in the humidity and wants a steady hand more than a fancy one — cut, edge, clear the walk, return next week. Two kinds of weather, one habit: leave the property looking like somebody is paying attention.
