By October the bay off John F. Kennedy Park turns choppy and slate-colored, and the wind that comes across it carries half the neighborhood's leaves into the other half's hedges. That is the season Bruce and Sons Landscaping likes best, because the difference between a tired yard and a finished one is visible from the sidewalk. Through the warm months it is mowing and edging on a dependable cycle; through the turn it is cleanups, cutbacks and hauling until the lawn goes into the cold looking deliberate rather than abandoned. Somers Point is a town of modest lots and long views, and a tidy yard reads all the way down the block. The crew leaves each one that way and drives on.
