October turns the light gold and low over Lamard, and the hardwoods let go all at once. Rodriguez Landscaping Services meets that season the way it deserves to be met — a full cleanup, leaves cleared off the turf and out of the beds and the fence corners where the wind stacks them. Through summer it is the weekly work instead: mowing on schedule, trimming the tight corners a mower rolls past, edging a line where lawn meets concrete. There is a real satisfaction in the last pass of the year, a lawn cut short and clean and ready to sleep. Come spring they will be back to open it up again.
