The Rahway River takes in Robinson's Branch here and turns tidal below the city, carrying salt air up into the neighborhoods on a south wind. Lotus Landscape LLC keeps yards along those blocks through the whole cycle, mowing and edging through the humid stretch of summer, mulching beds, trimming what the mower cannot reach. Autumn cleanups strip the leaves out before the rains pack them into the turf. Then coastal storms arrive heavy and wet, and the work becomes plowing, shoveling and spreading de-icer where shade holds ice into the afternoon. A river city takes weather from both directions, and the yards still have to look right.
