March in Rahway is the hinge: one week the plows are still out, the next the ground softens along Hamilton Street and the first green shows in the flat front yards. Santos Landscaping LLC lives on both sides of that hinge. Through winter it is driveways opened, walks cleared and salt spread ahead of the morning freeze; through the growing season it is mowing, edging, trimming and mulch, week after week until the leaves are hauled off. The city's blocks are close-set and level, which means a missed cut is obvious and a good one is too. Doing both jobs on the same properties means knowing every corner, gate and downspout by heart.
