October in Beach Park turns the old rail corridor into a lane of yellow, and the maples along the side streets let go all at once after the first hard wind. Leaves are half the work of a Lake County autumn — off the turf before they smother it, out of the beds, off the walks before rain makes them slick. J.F.V Landscaping Service Inc. runs the whole arc of the year on these lots: mowing and trimming through the warm months, cleanups when the trees come down together, then plowing and ice control once the cold settles in for good. Every property gets the same close look — the edge along the drive, the corner a mower always misses, the walk that glazes over first. It is ordinary work, and the difference shows from the street.
