Late August in the Morris County Highlands is all dappled light — oak and hickory closing overhead, sun coming through in coins that travel across the grass all afternoon. Naturescapes Landscaping mows the lawns under that canopy at White Meadow Lake, where shade makes turf thin and patient and the cut has to be gentler than it would be out in the open. Trimming keeps the beds and tree rings honest; edging holds the boundary between lawn and woodland duff. When the canopy finally lets go, the leaves come down in one heavy week and get cleared before they smother anything. Working a wooded lot well means leaving it looking like the woods and the lawn agreed on where to stop.
