The South River runs tidal here, and in April it moves high and brown past the marina while the first mowing of the year is already overdue. Adrian's Landscaping starts its South River season in that rush, cutting back winter, clearing the drift of leaves that settled behind the fence since November, bringing the borough's small deep yards back to green. Come December the same lots ask for the opposite job, and the truck goes out with a blade to open driveways and walks before the block wakes up. Both come down to one thing, handing a property back better than you found it, right down to the last corner. Between the river and the old street grid there is not much room to work in, and neatness is the whole trade.
