Bits Lawn and Garden

About Bits Lawn and Garden

Fog gathers along the Papakating before sunrise and lifts off the low meadows slowly, the way something folded gets unpacked. Bits Lawn and Garden works the properties on either side of that water — mowing, string trimming, edging, and the steady tidying that keeps a yard from getting ahead of its owner. Midsummer in this part of Sussex County means grass that gains an inch between visits and garden borders that want a firm line held against them. There is real pleasure in the seam where turf meets bed, cut clean enough that the whole yard suddenly looks deliberate. By late October the same lawns get taken down to bare ground and left ready for the long cold that settles in these bottoms.
