On the steep streets running down toward the river, the front yards are small and every one of them is fully visible from the sidewalk — there is nowhere for a careless cut to hide. Jeffs Landscaping takes that as the standard: grass held at an even height, the trimmer run tight along steps, porches and fence lines, the walk blown off before the truck pulls away. At midday in July the hillside throws heat back up off the pavement, and the work still gets finished properly. Small lots reward patience, and a tidy strip of green in front of an old house lifts the look of a whole block. Lawn care for Phillipsburg and the boroughs next door.
