The first trains out of Newark Penn Station leave before sunrise, and along Raymond Boulevard the day begins in grey half-light with the river sliding past underneath. virgil outdoor services is out early too, mowers running by the time traffic thickens on McCarter Highway. The work is straightforward: cutting, trimming, edging, a cleanup when the season opens and another when it shuts, and the leaves lifted off the lawn before the November rain packs them flat. Newark grows fast and forgives nothing left alone for three weeks. A yard visited on schedule never reaches that point, and that is the entire idea.
