October turns the maples over New Lenox to copper and then, over about two weeks, drops the whole canopy into everybody's yard at once. Yard Pro works right through that surrender: the leaves gathered off the turf and out of the bed corners, the late mowings that keep a lawn from matting down under the first wet snow, the edges recut so the line between grass and walk still reads clean in November light. Earlier in the year it is the steady rhythm instead — weekly mowing, trimming around the posts and downspouts, clippings blown off the drive. A prairie-town yard asks for attention in every month it is green. What comes back is a lawn that looks tended rather than merely managed, from the first cut of spring to the last one of the season.
