A route has a rhythm to it — same street, same day, the week keeping time by which lawns got cut. CADENCE MAINTENANCE runs that beat across Todt Hill and the streets that fall away from it, where the island reaches its highest ground and the tree canopy closes overhead. Mowing, edging, string trimming, hedge and shrub work, mulching and cleanups at both ends of the year, kept on schedule so nothing gets away during the June push. Regular beats heroic: a lawn cut on time never needs rescuing. By the last stop of the afternoon the cut lines run the full length of the property and the whole hill smells green.
