Six in the morning in the old Dublin blocks above the falls, dew still sitting on everything, and the first cut of the day goes down dark and even. Jim McNamara Lawn Care starts early in Paterson because the grass cuts cleaner before the heat gets into it and the street is still quiet enough to hear the blade. The route is mowing, string trimming and edging, plus the cleanups that open the season in spring and close it in late fall. Older city lots come with stone steps, iron rails and a hundred little corners, and every one of them gets finished by hand. By the time the neighborhood is up and moving, the yard is done and the mower is already three streets away.
