October turns the sycamores along Cedar Brook to copper, and for a few weeks the borough's lawns disappear underneath them. ERNEST LANDSCAPING LLC spends that stretch mowing, blowing and hauling until the turf shows again, then waits on the season that comes with its own alarm clock. Snow work in South Plainfield is a night job — plowing driveways and lots, clearing walks, spreading salt on the shaded slab beside the garage that never sees sun in January. Summer is different work at a different tempo: weekly cuts, trimmed fence lines, an edge along the curb you could set a ruler against. Both ends of the calendar come down to the same thing, a property handed back better than it was found.
