August in Raritan sits heavy, the platform along the Raritan Valley Line shimmering by noon, the shade under the sycamores worth crossing the street for. Lawn Dog Landscaping LLC works those weeks the way heat demands: early starts, a steady route, the blade set high so a lawn can hold its color through the dry stretch. Mowing, trimming, edging, hedges kept tidy, beds weeded and mulched, and the clippings cleared off before anyone gets home. Spring is cleanup and seeding; autumn is leaves off the grass while the borough smells like woodsmoke. A well-cut lawn on a hot street is a small and genuine pleasure, and this is a company that treats it as one.
