Spring reaches White House Station through the fields first — hedgerows greening along the Rockaway Creek, Cushetunk Mountain still bare above Round Valley, the rail platform empty between trains. Dave's Landscaping NJ starts its mowing rounds about then, once the Hunterdon County ground has dried enough to hold a wheel without leaving a mark. Properties run long and open out here, and a cut lawn against an uncut field is one of the cleanest lines in the county. Trimming, edging and weekly mowing carry it from that first green push through the dry gold weeks of August. Quiet, seasonal, satisfying work, done in a place where you can watch the weather coming for an hour before it arrives.
