In January the boardwalk belongs to walkers in wool hats, and the ocean is the loudest thing on the island. HTJ Lawncare and Landscaping works that stretch of the calendar too — clearing driveways, walks and steps when a coastal storm swings cold and drops something worth moving. Come May the same streets flip completely, and the job turns to mowing, trimming and edging on a weekly rhythm that runs until the leaves are down. Ocean City asks a property to look ready year-round, whether it's a family arriving for the summer or a neighbor stepping out for the paper in the cold. Both ends of the year finish the same way: a clear path in, and a yard with its lines drawn straight.
