The Ho-Ho-Kus Brook threads quietly through the borough, and the maples along it set the calendar — silver and bare in March, heavy green by June, orange and letting go by the third week of October. Chris James Landscaping keeps pace with all of it around Waldwick: mowing, trimming, edging and leaf cleanups while the trees are working, plowing and de-icing once they have gone bare. Old Bergen County lots run to shade and slope, so mowing is a matter of reading a yard rather than simply driving across it. In winter those same yards become drives to open and walks to clear before daylight. Same properties, different tools, one unbroken year.
