At midnight in January, Durham Avenue runs orange under the lights and empty except for salt trucks and a few plows working their lists. GK Landscaping is out in that hour, clearing driveways and parking areas across South Plainfield, cutting walkways down to bare concrete, laying de-icer where the refreeze will try to come back before dawn. Eight months later the same properties want the opposite touch: mowing on a weekly cadence, trimmed edges, cleanups for when the maples let go all at once. Working a town year-round means learning its quirks — which driveway pitches toward the door, which corner drifts, which lawn burns first in a dry July. That accumulated knowledge is the actual service; the equipment is only how it gets delivered.
