There is a particular quiet in a yard the day the last of the leaves come off it — bare, brushed, ready for whatever the cold decides. Fowler Lawn Care spends the shortening Preston afternoons chasing exactly that: raking out the fence lines, clearing the beds, taking the turf down to its final height before the freeze. All summer those same properties get their weekly pass, mowed and trimmed and edged along the walks. The open country around town lets the wind pile leaves in the same corners year after year, and those corners are where the work really shows. Come the thaw it starts again with a cleanup and a lawn that was set up right to survive the winter.
