The Rockaway River takes its slow bend through Wharton, and the yards that follow it hold the damp green of the Highlands a little longer than most. All Seasons Maintenance works that ground both ways — mowing, edging and trimming through the growing months, then plowing, shoveling and salting the same driveways once the borough goes white. There is one kind of satisfaction in a lawn cut in clean parallel lines down to the river hedge, and an entirely different one in a drive opened before the first commuter is out. Cleanups bracket the year here: bagged leaves at the curb in November, winter's grit raked out of the corners in April. Ordinary outdoor work, done with attention, in a town small enough to notice.
