October in this corner of Kendall County has a smell to it — grass cut one last time, wet leaves underfoot, woodsmoke somewhere down the road. W&B Lawn and pool maintenance carries a property across both halves of the year: mowing, trimming, edging and leaf cleanup while the ground is green, then snow plowing, walk clearing and salting once it goes hard. The last cleanup of fall has its own reward — beds bare, turf shorn, everything set up to sleep. Then the first storm shows up and the work becomes headlights and a scraping blade at five in the morning. Little Rock, Plano, Millbrook and the roads around them, all twelve months.
