October in Buckhead is slow about letting go — the oaks hold on long after everything else has quit, and the leaves come down a few at a time through cool blue mornings. Debonair Lawn Care keeps mowing while the grass still asks for it, then works the leaf litter off the turf and out of the bed lines so nothing mats down over winter. Edges get re-cut in fall, when the ground is soft and the seam stays sharp for weeks. Afterward the light comes through the bare limbs and lands on grass that is still tidy, and that is a fine hour to stand back and look at the work.
