North Plainfield keeps its Victorians on the hillside streets around Washington Park — deep porches, tall windows, front yards laid out back when a lawn was meant to be looked at. Allan's landscaping ll.c keeps those yards in order: mowing, edging along the old slate and bluestone walks, trimming, and the spring and fall cleanups that bracket the season. On a Saturday morning in May the whole neighborhood sounds like mowers and birds, and by noon the lines on the grass run straight down toward the street. Feeding and overseeding fill back in what the shade of the big street maples takes away. An ordinary service and an old kind of pride, both at the same time.
