Monmouth County soil out here is sandy enough to drink a thunderstorm in an hour, and by July the lawns of Ramtown want a cut that respects the heat. H.T. Lawn & Landscape LLC mows high in midsummer, keeps the edges sharp along the drives, runs the trimmer down the fence lines, and comes back through in spring and fall for the cleanups. The Manasquan River runs just south of these neighborhoods, and the humid air that follows it makes grass grow like it has somewhere to be. Steady weekly work is what holds a lawn together in that kind of summer. A yard cut clean on a hot afternoon, with the clippings blown off the walk, is the plain proof of the day.
