October in Hazardville turns Powder Hollow gold along the water, and the yards below it fill with leaf litter overnight. KCK Landscaping meets that season head-on in Enfield and out toward Somers — seasonal clean ups, mowing straight through the growing months, gutters cleared before the freeze makes the job miserable. Trees and shrubs get pruning, trimming, or removal when a limb has outgrown the spot it was given. On the design side, garden plans are drawn for the yard as it actually is: sun, slope, soil, and what will thrive in this stretch of the valley. Then the calendar tips, the light goes short, and the same trucks come back for snow removal.
