Late October in South Windsor is when the trade changes hands — one week the mower decks are still packed with clippings, the next the plows come off the wall and the leaves lie wet across the driveways. Both halves of the year come down to a clean edge. Warm months: mowing, edging, trimming, mulch and bed care, shrub trimming, spring cleanup and fall leaf removal. Cold months: plowing driveways and lots, snowblowing, clearing walkways and steps, and sanding or salting ice. Properties on the river side of town and out toward the Manchester line get the same treatment either way — cut to the line, cleared to the pavement, nothing left half-done.
