After Labor Day, Pine Beach empties out a little and the borough goes back to being a quiet grid of streets under tall pines. Elite Lawns and Landscape Services LLC likes September for the work, with growth slowing, mornings cool, and time enough to cut an edge properly along every walk. The season runs on mowing and trimming week by week, with cleanups at both ends of it to move needles, leaves and winter debris off the grass. Yards here are compact and close together, so a straight border between one lawn and the next is worth taking time over. River fog rolls up some mornings and everything looks new until it burns off.
