The old Morris Canal ended its long haul right here at the Delaware, and where the towpath survives the ground still remembers the shape of it. Phillips Landscape Services LLC works that same ground in its two seasons: green months given over to mowing, string trimming and moving leaves, cold months given over to the plow, the shovel and the spreader. Late October is the changeover — the last cut goes down short, the lawn comes clear, and the machines get swapped for whatever January intends to do. There is a real reward in a property put to bed properly for winter that comes back clean in spring. Phillipsburg, Lopatcong, Alpha and the ground nearby.
