October in Niles turns the side streets between Dempster and Main into a slow gold rain. Leaves land on brick ranches, on driveways, on lawns that were mowed all summer and now need clearing instead. David & Company Lawn Care handles both halves of that year — the weekly cut through the growing months, then the raking, blowing and hauling that follows. A yard stripped clean before the first hard freeze is a small, complete thing, and it shows all winter long. The mower goes quiet, the rakes come out, and the block looks looked-after again.
