October mornings around Carlton come in cool and bright, and the mowing slows down just as the leaves begin banking against the fence. Quality Lawn Service carries a yard through that handoff — the last even cuts of the season, then leaves pulled out of the beds and the corners, then the walks blown clear. Grass that goes into the cold cut short and tidy comes out of it better in March. Trimming and edging stay on the list right to the end, because a soft border is what makes a dormant yard look neglected rather than resting. A place kept up in November starts spring already ahead.
