April in Tuckerton arrives in pieces — one warm afternoon, then a raw one off the water, and everywhere the leaves the oaks held onto all winter. Hendricks Lawn & Landscape starts the year raking that out: beds cleared, edges recut, the lawn opened up so sun and air can get down to it. Then the mowing begins and does not really stop until the light goes short again. Mulch down, shrubs shaped, the line between grass and garden made deliberate rather than accidental. By the time the season turns busy along Little Egg Harbor, the yard looks like it has been expecting company.
