Late August in Phillipsburg holds its heat well into the evening, and the gold hour over the ballfields is the best time of day to be out working. Gaddy's Landscaping and Lawncare runs the weekly cut through that stretch, works the trimmer around mailbox posts and garden beds, and clears the clippings off the walk before the light goes. A lawn that has been kept up all season shows it in September — thick, level, still holding color while everything around it browns off. Come October the leaf work takes over and the beds get put down for the cold. Yards in town and out through Lopatcong, Pohatcong and Stewartsville.
