First light in Somers Point comes up off the water to the east, over the roofs and the far islands, and it lands on a lawn before anyone is awake to see it. Eastern Lawn Care is usually loading the trailer about then, gates down, the day laid out street by street. Mowing on a set rotation so nobody has to call and ask, trimming the corners a deck can't reach, edging the walks, clearing the beds when the season pushes debris into them. Grass at the shore takes a beating from salt wind and quick-draining ground, which makes consistency worth more than any single dramatic visit. The reward is simple: a yard that looks the same good way every week.
