Fog lifts off the Shark River early, and Wall Township wakes up in silver. That is when A & J Lawn & Landscaping likes to start, blades turning while the dew is still down, mowing and edging and trimming yard by yard between the river bends and the Parkway. Sandy coastal-plain ground dries fast here and greens up faster after a Monday rain, so the schedule bends with the weather instead of fighting it. Spring and fall cleanups clear whatever the wind carries in off the water. The reward is the last look back: stripes running true, the walkway swept, a border cut clean enough to read from the street.
