On Long Beach Island the shoulder seasons are the honest ones — houses shuttered, dune grass leaning, nothing between you and the wind but a few blocks of sand. Reynolds Landscaping LBI works the island and the Stafford Township mainland behind it, cutting and trimming lawns through the green months and clearing snow when winter arrives across the water. Island storms do not drift the way inland storms do; they scour and pile, leaving a driveway half bare and half buried. Knowing that is the difference between a good clearing and a fast one. Either way the property should look tended and awake, whether anyone is home or not.
