In South Toms River the water narrows and December comes on fast — one week you are taking a last cut, the next the blade goes on the truck. L.L. Lawns LLC lives on both sides of that turn: mowing, edging, trimming and cleanups while things grow, then plowing driveways, lots and walkways once the weather turns hard. Shore storms arrive wet and heavy off the water, which makes the timing of a first pass everything. A driveway opened before dawn changes somebody's whole day, and that is worth getting up for. Same trucks, same streets, whatever the month happens to be doing.
