Out past Felton Street the apple rows at Brooksby Farm turn loud in October, and the rest of Peabody follows a week later, maples letting go all at once over lawns that still want cutting. ALZ Tree Service handles the grass side of that season: mowing, trimming, edging, leaf and debris cleanup, and getting a yard tucked in before the ground hardens. A lawn raked bare in November is really a promise about April. There is genuine pleasure in the last pass of the year, the stripes still faintly there under a morning frost. Come spring the same ground wakes up even and green, and it all begins again.
