November is the hinge here: last leaves down, ground stiffening overnight, snow somewhere out in the ten-day forecast. Sancen Outside Services LLC lives on both sides of that hinge, with mowing, trimming, edging and fall cleanups on one side and plowing, shoveling and salting on the other. Being ready for either is most of the trick in a river town where a sixty-degree afternoon can be followed by four inches by breakfast. Yards get put to bed, then driveways get opened, and South Moline goes on about its business. Outside work, all the way around the calendar.
