Rahway wakes early, the platform lights coming on and the first trains pulling out while most of the city is still dark. L Lopez Landscaping works to that clock in winter, plowing driveways and cutting paths to the curb so a commuter can leave on time in a foot of snow, with salt down on the steps behind them. In the green months the same clock applies, mowers rolling early, edging and trimming finished before the afternoon heat sits over the flat streets. Cleanups bracket the year at both ends, carrying off what autumn and winter leave behind. Nobody should have to plan a morning around their own yard.
