Strathmore's streets curve on purpose — the neighborhood was laid out that way in Aberdeen Township, block after block of houses set back behind their front lawns. Mahoney Landscaping mows and tends those yards. October is the honest season here: the wind comes up off Raritan Bay, the maples along the loops turn all at once, and every lawn needs the leaves off before they pack down and smother the grass. Through summer the pleasure is simpler — an even cut, trimmed borders, an edge along the walk that keeps its shape all week. In a neighborhood where the houses rhyme with one another, a well-kept lawn is how a place shows it is lived in.
