Along the reservation edge where Blue Brook runs, Watchung's autumn is loud with leaves and then, all at once, silent. Martoccia Landscape Services works both ends of that quiet — the fall cleanup that clears lawn and bed before the ground locks up, and the plowing and salting that follow the first real storm across the ridge. In the growing season the work is weekly and unglamorous: mowing, trimming, edging, keeping the lines honest on lots that run to woods at the back. A lawn that stays sharp from April through November and a driveway that stays open from December through March — that's the measure of it. Same properties, same trucks, whatever the sky is doing.
