The town was named for the clay along the river, and anyone who has put a shovel into Monmouth County ground knows what that soil can do — heavy where it packs, sandier as you get toward the shore. Complete Brick Yard Landscaping INC works with it rather than against it, aerating compacted turf in September, overseeding into the open holes, feeding the roots while the nights cool and the ground stays warm. That is the window the grass here actually wants, and a lawn seeded then comes up thick the following June. In between there is the steady part: mowing, edging, mulching the beds, clearing what falls. Ground worked patiently gives a great deal back.
