October turns the ridges above Naugatuck to rust and copper, and every one of those trees eventually lands on somebody's lawn. JP Landscaping Services LLC works that season hard — leaves gathered off the turf, out of the beds and away from the walks, then hauled off before the first wet week packs them into a mat. The rest of the year runs on mowing, string trimming and edge work that keeps a property looking deliberate from the curb. Mulch goes down in spring, and overgrown corners get cut back and kept back. Where the state forest meets the yards, the line between wild and tended is one somebody has to redraw each week.
