Up where the Manasquan River meets the boat traffic and the drawbridge holds up Route 88, spring announces itself early — the marsh greens, the mowers come out of the shed. Augusta Lawn Care of Point Pleasant carries that rhythm south through Toms River with mowing, edging, trimming and cleanups from the first flush of April to the last leaf in November. Then the year flips, and the same trucks push snow off driveways and lots after a storm tracks up the coast. Shore winters hand you eight inches or eight hours of slush, and either way the pavement has to be open by morning. Straight lines in summer, clean asphalt in winter — simpler than people think, harder than it looks.
