Perth Amboy is a city of brick — rowhouse fronts, stone steps, the sidewalk running right up to the door — so the green that's left matters more, not less. Jpc hardscape & landscape keeps those lawns: the side strip, the back square, the patch of grass a stone walk cuts through. Mowing and trimming around hard edges asks a different hand than an open field; you work to the stone, not around it, and the line either looks intended or it doesn't. Late in the summer, with the shade running long over the terraces that step down toward the water, a small lawn cut tight against pavers reads like a made thing. That's the aim on every visit.
