The strip of grass between the sidewalk and the curb is the part of a Sayreville lawn everybody walks past and nobody thinks about — until it goes ragged. R Brothers Lawn Services does not leave it that way: weekly mowing, trimming along the walk and around every pole and hydrant, edging so the pavement gets its outline back. April is when it all starts, the ground finally warm, the first cut releasing the smell the whole block recognizes. Spring cleanup clears whatever winter left behind, and fall cleanup lifts the leaves before they mat down. Front step to curb, the entire thing counts.
