The sun clears the eastern hills long before it reaches the bottom of a Sussex yard, and there is a stretch of morning when the ridges are lit and the valley is still holding night. New Horizon Landscape & Lawn Service Inc is usually rolling by then — mowing, edging, string trimming, and the seasonal cleanups that open and close the year. Grass cut in that first cool hour stands up better than grass cut at noon, and the stripes hold their shape all the way to evening. Weeks stack into a season, and a lawn that has been kept from the first April cut carries a color that a one-off visit can never fake. Watching that come on, yard by yard, is the good part of the work.
