When the marsh grass along Patcong Creek starts trading its winter straw for green, Somers Point lawns are usually about two weeks behind it. Green Grass Gonzalez Landscaping LLC watches for that turn and starts the mowing year on it — cutting, edging, trimming, and clearing out whatever the cold months piled into the corners of a yard. Through summer the rotation holds steady, because grass this close to the bay does not wait politely for anyone. Then the year swings the other way and the same trucks carry plows, opening driveways and walkways after a storm and putting down salt where ice would otherwise sit. Both seasons come down to being there on the day it matters.
