October turns Vaughn gold and rust, sweetgum and hickory letting go a little more each windy night. Vaughan Landscaping & Construction spends those weeks mowing the last flushes of growth and moving leaves off lawns and hard surfaces before they mat down. There is real satisfaction in a lawn cut low and even under bare limbs, its border sharp against a red clay drive. The work is unglamorous — cut, trim, edge, clear, haul — and the result is a property that looks ready for the cold months. Come the first still evening of November, the yards along the route stand tidy in the early dark.
