The first cool snap of October is a relief around Denton, and it arrives with a dry week and a pecan tree letting go of its leaves a handful at a time. Kalkare Landscaping, LLC uses those clear mornings for the fall work — leaf removal, yard cleanup, the last steady mowings before the grass slows and the year winds down. Trimming and edging keep going as long as anything is growing, because a cut lawn with soft edges never quite looks done. Under the big shade trees the raking is patient work, done in passes until the turf shows again. It is a good season to be outside here, and the yards come out of it uncluttered.
