Downriver of the old iron bridge at Nevius Street, the Raritan runs slow enough to throw fog across the low ground on cool mornings, and Alpine Landscapes works the streets that climb away from it. Warm months are mowing and edging, hedges brought back to shape, mulch laid dark and even around the beds. Autumn turns to leaves, sycamore and maple lifted off the lawns before a hard rain can glue them down. Then the blade goes on the truck, and those same driveways get plowed open and the walks salted so a household can reach Route 202 without thinking twice. One property, tended the whole way around the calendar, by a crew that knows exactly which corner of it drifts.
