The freight rails still cut through Northvale, and the streets built around them are close-set, leafy and shaded most of the day. Ross Brothers Inc Landscaping mows those blocks in midsummer, laying down straight alternating passes that catch the afternoon light differently in each direction. Trimming, edging and clearing the clippings finish it off so there is nothing left for anyone to sweep up after. Grass in this valley runs hard in June and eases off in August, and the deck height moves along with it. Cleanups in spring and fall square up both ends of the year.
