The first hard frost usually shows itself at Bayview Park, where the ground sits open to the bay and the grass goes silver an hour before anywhere else in Perth Amboy. TEO'S LANDSCAPING LLC works both sides of that line — lawn care while things are still growing, snow removal once they aren't. December means the last of the leaves and the first bags of salt riding in the truck. A storm off this water is rarely dry; it comes thick, it pulls at the shovel, and the walk cleared at nine wants clearing again at one. Going back anyway is what keeps a house looking lived-in and open all winter.
