From the high ground above Olde Rope Mill Park, October turns the hardwoods rust and gold, and then hands every last leaf of it down into the yards below. Apex Landscaping - Woodstock meets that season head on: leaf cleanup, mowing while the growth slows, bed edges cut back sharp, mulch refreshed before the cold. Autumn here is short and generous, a few weeks of good working weather between the last humid stretch and the first hard frost. A yard cleared down to clean turf in November holds that look for months. It is a satisfying thing to hand back a property that finally looks like the woods stopped winning.
