October arrives in Westmont as a slow amber: the maples along Ogden Avenue letting go a few at a time, the park lawns still growing but thinking hard about stopping. Polaris Landscape reads that turn for a living. The last mowings of the year kept even, borders held, leaves pulled off the turf — and the plow gear checked over while the sky is still blue. Then the first true storm comes and driveways and walkway open early and stay open. It is satisfying work, this handoff between one season and the next, and Westmont is a good place to do it. Lawn care and snow removal, spring through the far side of winter.
