North Bergen builds its yards the hard way — up the Palisades in terraces, behind retaining walls, at the top of a flight of stone steps with the Hudson glinting below. Abad Landscaping LLC carries the mower up those steps and makes small ground look generous: grass cut even, edges cut sharp, the strip between wall and sidewalk trimmed by hand where no machine will fit. Beds are weeded and mulched, hedges squared, and the clippings go back down the stairs and out. On a clear morning the skyline stands across the water and the little green square in front of the house looks the way its owner always pictured it. That is the whole job.
