The maples in Rich Township take their time and then go all at once — a week in late October when whole streets in the south suburbs burn orange overhead before letting it all down. Autumn Blaze Landscaping LLC is busiest right then, pulling leaves off turf and out of beds before the first wet snow mats them into the grass. The rest of the year is the steady work: weekly mowing, edging, trimming, and mulch beds kept sharp at the border. Spring cleanup opens the calendar, and the growing season out here runs long and green. A yard raked bare in November comes back thicker in May, and that trade is always worth making.
