October pulls the heat out of Six Shooter Canyon and turns the sycamores along the wash a soft butter yellow. Evenings run long and gold, and the mowing slows to a pace a person can enjoy — grass growing at half speed, leaves needing gathering, edges wanting one more tidy pass before the cold. Dalmolin Excavating looks after lawns in and around Globe through that stretch and every other one: cutting, edging, string trimming, hauling the debris away. A yard that stays kept in autumn wakes up better in April. Most of the job is simply showing up on the same day each week and leaving the ground better than the light found it.
