The first real cut of the year comes once the forsythia has gone loud along the fences down toward the Eatontown line, and the whole town seems to exhale at the same time. Montoya Landscape & Lawn Maintenance LLC opens the season right there, cleanup first with beds cleared and lawns raked out, then the mowing, edging and trimming that carry on every week until the ground goes quiet again. A Tinton Falls yard travels from flat brown to full green in about three weeks, and holding the mower for that turn never gets old. Summer after that is repetition done attentively, the same lines, the same borders, the same clean finish handed back each visit. Homes around town and in the nearby boroughs make up the route.
