By late October the maples along Route 113 have let go and Oak Hill is ankle-deep, which around Newburyport is the signal that one stretch of work is handing off to the next. Stanwood Landscaping covers both ends — mowing, trimming and edging through the growing months, cleanups in spring and through that long leaf-heavy fall, then plows and shovels once the ground goes hard. Winter here means driveways opened, walkways cleared, and ice treated on the shaded stretches that stay slick for days after everything else has dried. The routes barely change; only the equipment does. A property looked after all year has a settled look to it, and that shows up most on a January morning when the drive is already open.
