Dalton Avenue in late October runs beneath a ceiling of red maple, and one afternoon of wind off Allendale takes the whole thing apart. Michael A Bianco Landscaping Inc works straight through that turn in Pittsfield -- mowing, trimming and edging while the grass still asks for it, then plowing, shoveling and salting as soon as pavement starts holding snow. Autumn here is short and decisive: you get your last good week, and then you get winter. Knowing exactly when to switch is half the job. The other half is doing each side properly, with even cuts in the fall and open drives in the dark.
