The first cut of the year is a small ceremony. In Pine Brook it usually falls in April, when the ground out along Changebridge finally firms and the lawns go from dull to loud green in about a week. JTS Lawn Maintenance LLC opens the season with cleanup work — winter debris hauled off, beds cut in, mulch laid down — then settles into mowing, edging and trimming for the long middle of the year. Fall closes it out the way it began, everything cleared and put right before the freeze. A property that gets that kind of attention never looks like it is catching up, and that is the whole ambition.
