The first week of November in Oswego does two things at once: the last leaves let go and the first flurries dust the beds. New Leaf Services LLC lives in that overlap — leaf removal and fall cleanups running right up against the night the plow gets hitched. Through the green months it is mowing, trimming and edging on a weekly turn; through the white ones it is drives opened, walks cleared and salt where the melt refreezes. Both jobs come down to the same act, clearing a surface and handing it back. Watching a yard go from buried to bare never gets old.
