In late June the sea breeze off Raritan Bay works its way inland, reaches Old Bridge sometime after three, and the afternoon finally loosens its grip. Jimenez Lawn Care & Landscape mows through the hot part of the day anyway, trimming around posts and beds, edging the long runs of sidewalk that follow these streets. Turf cut at the right height and the right interval holds its color deep into the heat. The clippings fall fine, the lines lie flat, and the yard reads as cared-for from the curb without anyone having to say so. That look is the entire reward, and it has to be earned again the following week.
