May arrives late in the sandy ground of Ocean Acres, and then all at once. A&J Landscape Services LLC works the streets where pitch pine shadow falls in stripes across the grass by seven in the morning — mowing, trimming close along fence posts, and cutting a clean line where turf meets driveway. Sugar sand doesn't hold water and doesn't forgive a careless pass, so the borders get walked twice and the clippings get blown off the concrete before the truck rolls on. What's left is a yard that reads as intentional from the street: even down the middle, sharp at the edges, quiet. That's the whole of it, and it's worth doing right on these roads and across Stafford Township.
