October on the hill above Preston Beach: the wind swings northeast, the gulls come inland, and every lawn on those steep little streets fills with leaves by mid-afternoon. Niz landscaping & construction takes them on — leaf removal, fall cleanup, the closing cuts of the year, and edges re-established where a summer of growth softened them. In spring the same yards get the reset and the first mow, then weekly mowing, edging and trimming straight through to the cold. Swampscott properties sit small and close together, so the finish is public; the neighbors see the line you cut. That is reason enough to cut it well, here and across the towns nearby.
