August light in the borough goes long and gold around seven, and it finds every flaw in an edge along a sidewalk. Penik landscape contractors works to that standard on South Plainfield lawns, with weekly mowing, trimming around walls, posts and beds, and a cut edge along walks and driveways that stays honest all season. Cleanups bookend the year, opening a yard in spring and clearing it down in late fall. On these older streets the houses sit close together, so one well-kept lawn quietly lifts the two on either side of it. Leaving a place noticeably better at five than it was at nine never stops being satisfying.
