The ground under Old Bridge was dug for clay long before it was dug for foundations, and the township still sits on that pale, gritty soil. Jason's Masonry Inc keeps properties here on either side of the freeze — mowing, trimming and edging through the green months, then plowing and shoveling with salt down once the driveways glaze over. A hard winter in this corner of Middlesex County tends to arrive in wet, heavy loads that need moving early rather than late. A hot July asks only that the cut stay regular and the edges stay sharp. The work rotates with the weather; the standard behind it does not.
