By late October the air over Camden County finally goes light, and pine straw begins stacking against the curbs. Emerson lawn & landscaping works those cooler mornings — mowing as the growth eases, clearing needles and leaves, cutting hedges back for the mild months ahead. Lawns down here don't sleep so much as sit down for a while, and they still want a clean border. Cleanups run late into the afternoon, the truck filling and emptying and filling again. A yard put right in autumn carries its looks well into spring.
