On the Totowa side of Paterson a June morning smells like cut grass well before eight, when the air off the Passaic bend is still cool enough to work in. The Palacios B Landscaping LLC starts there, mowing, edging and trimming the yards that step down toward the river below Westside Park. Cleanups follow through the warm months, hauling out what the wind and the maples leave behind the garages. Grass in this stretch grows hard and fast after a wet week, so the reward is the pass that finally sets it right again, stripes laid straight against a fence line. It is ordinary work done carefully, and the block can tell.
