By the second week of July the Newark-Pompton Turnpike shimmers a little in the afternoon, and every lawn in Riverdale wants water and a higher cut. Efficient Air Service runs the weekly route through that heat — mowing, trimming along fences and posts, edging drives and walks, and blowing the pavement clean before the truck pulls away. Growth slows in August and picks back up with the September rain, so the schedule bends with the grass instead of against it. Cleanups take care of spring's mess and autumn's leaves. The reward is ordinary and worth having: a straight edge, a cut lawn, a clean driveway.
