Milton Lake ices at the edges first, and that thin gray rim is Rahway's notice that the plowing season has begun. Holiday Yards works both halves of the year here, running mowers and trimmers from the first warm week through the last of the leaves, then plows and de-icer once the pavement turns treacherous. Summer lawns in this city grow fast on level ground and answer to a regular cut, a straight edge, and beds kept weeded and mulched. Winter asks for a driveway opened early and a walkway a person can actually trust in dress shoes. The pleasure is the same in both: a property that never looks neglected, week to week.
