Downtown Rahway is brick and small front yards, squares of green measured in strides rather than acres, and every one of them is visible from the sidewalk. Kennedy Landscaping Inc treats that scale seriously: a compact lawn cut evenly, trimmed tight to the stoop and the iron fence, edged so the walk reads as a line instead of a suggestion. Beds along a row of porches get cleared in spring and mulched dark, and the leaves come off in autumn before they mat down over the grass. Work like this is judged up close, from three feet away, by people walking past on their way to the theater. That is a good way to be judged.
