October runs the hill at Fulton Heights all at once — one week the yards are gold, the next they're buried, and the first flurry usually shows up before the last bag is tied. Edgar and Sons Tree Service works that handoff from both sides. Fall and spring cleanups, mowing and trimming through the growing months, edges kept sharp along walks and drives; then plowing, blowing and shoveling once the calendar flips, with de-icing on the steps that face north and never see sun. Medford's older streets climb and bend, and the driveways off them are short and steep, the kind of work that rewards knowing the block. A cleared drive on a hill at first light looks like a small act of order.
