The town's name comes from the black stone in the ground here, iron country long before it was neighborhoods, and the old Kings Highway still runs right through the middle of it. NDK Landscaping llc keeps the lawns along those streets cut, trimmed and edged, through a Morris County growing season that starts slow and then refuses to quit. September is the sweet part — cool mornings, heavy dew, grass thickening back up after August. Leaves come next, and they come all at once, so the cleanups are timed to the maples rather than the calendar. The payoff is a yard that looks even and deliberate right up to the last cut.
