Up in West Falmouth the ground climbs away from the bay toward Blackstrap Hill, and autumn arrives on that high ground a good week before it reaches the shore. Firehouse Property Maintenance keeps lawns across those inland streets and back roads — mowing through the season, trimming and edging, then the leaf work and fall cleanups that carry into November. Oaks up here hold their leaves late and let go all at once, usually on the coldest night of the month. Raking a yard down to bare, springy turf before the ground freezes is one of the plain pleasures of the calendar. Come the first hard frost, the lawns are put away right and waiting on April.
