At four in the morning in February the Poplar streets are blue-dark and silent, and the only sound anywhere in Ocean Township is a blade finding pavement. Kings Lawn Service & Pavers runs those hours, plowing, opening driveways and walkways, and salting the ice that forms where meltwater runs and refreezes before sunrise. There is a particular satisfaction in a drive cleared before the first commuter is even awake. When the ground turns over in spring, the same attention goes into mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups. Two entirely different seasons, one habit: arrive early, leave the place ready.
