October in Winchester goes fast: one hard night off the reservoirs and the maples let go all at once, and every lawn in town disappears under color. Webb David clears it — leaf removal down to bare turf, final mows, beds cut back and mulched, everything set right before the ground locks. Through the growing months it is the ordinary and necessary list: mowing, edging, trimming, feeding, spring cleanup. Grass in these northwest hills gets a short season and needs all of it. Left clean in November, a lawn comes back in April as though it never stopped.
