April arrives in the Pohatcong bottomland all at once — one warm week and the fields go from brown to a green you can pick out from Route 57. Hoffman's Lawn Service, LLC opens the season then, waking up lawns that spent months under Warren County's freeze and thaw: the first cut of the year, the borders reopened, the winter litter raked out from under the shrubs. From there it settles into a weekly rhythm that holds until November takes the last of the leaves down. There is real pride in a property that looks tended every single week, not just the week before company comes. Phillipsburg, Pohatcong, Greenwich and the smaller places tucked between them.
