Stony Brook slides west of the borough under sycamores that hold the only cool air in a Pennington July. B Rich Lawn Services & Landscaping works the long green afternoons above it — mowing in patient lines, edging the walks, trimming close along fence posts and foundations until a yard looks like someone decided about it. Come autumn the mowers give way to cleanups, and by December to the plow: drives opened, walks scraped down, salt laid where the ice likes to sit. Snow here arrives quietly and then all at once, and the job is simply to be there first. What stays with a homeowner is the small thing — stepping out onto bare pavement, or seeing a lawn's edge hold its line all the way to the curb.
