July settles heavy over Whitehouse Station, the Rockaway Creek running thin under the bridges and the grass growing back nearly as fast as it is cut. ARNIE BOCCAFOLI LAWN CARE keeps the weekly pass through that heat — mowing high enough that the turf shades its own roots, trimming around posts and mailboxes, edging the walks, blowing the drive clean before leaving. Readington yards run big out here, half field and half lawn, and the line between them is a decision made with a mower. Cleanups bracket the season on either end, one in the thaw and one in the leaf-fall. It is plain work, and a plain yard done right is a fine thing to pull into.
