October shortens the day around Phillips and turns the fields the color of paper bags. GRUNDON LAWNCARE SERVICES follows the season into it, with the last mows of the year cut a little lower and then the leaf work that decides how a lawn comes out of winter. Wind with a whole county to cross has a habit of stacking leaves against the north side of a house, and that one corner can take as long as the rest of the yard put together. Walks get cleared, edges get their line back, and the grass goes into the cold with nothing lying on top of it. Spring is always easier for the yards that got that hour in the fall.
