Water shapes this town: brooks come down out of the Ramapos, springs seep at the foot of the ridges, and by mid-June the valley air is thick enough that everything grows twice as fast. Spruce Springs Landscaping LLC keeps pace with it — mowing on a schedule that doesn't slip, hedges and shrubs shaped back, beds weeded and edged, trimming tight along the walls and posts. A lawn here can go shaggy in one week of warm rain, so the skill lives in the timing as much as in the blade. There is a plain pleasure in walking off a property at dusk with the lines fresh, the borders sharp and every clipping swept up. The green months are short and generous; the point is to make the most of them.
