By November the light comes in low across the valley all afternoon and the fence shadows stretch clear across the grass. Gardening and Maintenance Corporation favors the cool months for the way the turf slows down and holds a cut far longer. Mowing, edging, trimming and full cleanup carry on regardless, because the yard tended through the quiet season is the one that comes back strong. Short days make for early starts and clean finishes, and there is something satisfying about both. Homes here get the same attention in the slow weeks as in the fast ones.
