Springfield lies at the foot of the First Watchung, and weather here tends to come over the ridge before the rest of Union County has looked up. Bella Landscaping LLC keeps two calendars for that reason: one for mowing, one for plowing. Summer means clean lines across the lawns off Mountain Avenue, edges cut sharp enough to read from the sidewalk. Winter means headlights on the snow at four in the morning, driveways opened and salted so the first cup of coffee is the only thing anyone has to think about. Same town, two very different kinds of quiet, and a standard that doesn't change between them.
