The big oaks along Hooper Avenue throw shade in long bars by midsummer, and the lawns beneath them grow slow, thin and particular. Ras Tico Inc Landscaping And Tree Service works those shaded Toms River yards with a lighter touch — cutting high, trimming close around trunks and beds, edging the walks so the property still reads sharp from the curb. Cleanups clear what the canopy drops all season long. Shade grass is fussier than open turf, and getting it even is a small, satisfying victory. The reward is a cool green yard in the part of summer when nothing else looks comfortable.
