Spotswood sits on sandy coastal-plain ground, the kind that drains fast and makes a lawn work for its green. E&R Landscaping and Tree service mows and tends turf with that soil in mind — feeding on a schedule, watching for the weeds that love thin sand, keeping the cut high enough to hold moisture. September is the good month here: the heat breaks, the light goes long and gold out over the pine flats toward Jamesburg, and grass comes back willing. Cleanups clear the season's drop, and trimming and edging finish what the mower starts. Come October a lawn on these streets can look better than it did in June.
