When the hardwoods above Shiloh start to turn and the light thins out, yards in this corner of Harris County need a different sort of attention than they did in June. The Greenman Lawncare and landscaping shifts with it — final cuts, leaf cleanup, shrubs shaped back, bed lines cut fresh so the mulch has somewhere to stop. Mowing and trimming carry the warm months; the cool ones are for tidying up the bones of a place. There's a particular pleasure in standing at the road afterward and watching a whole yard hold together, hedge to edge to drive. Come spring it wakes up already in order.
