October along the old rail bed in Bolton turns gold all at once, and then the wind takes it down into every yard between the lakes and the Notch. Redwood Landscaping LLC does the reckoning — leaf cleanups start to finish, beds cleared and mulched, hedges cut back, mowing and edging right up until the grass quits for the year. Down by the Bolton Lakes the leaf load comes in heavy and wet, and the only way through it is patience and a second pass. There is a particular pleasure in the last visit of the season: lawn short, beds bare and clean, the property put to bed ahead of the cold. Come thaw the trucks are back for the opening cleanup and the first cut of the year.
