From the high fields around Lincoln, September lays a long blue shadow off Mount Jefferson and the hardwoods begin their turn a ridge at a time. Nicastro's Landscaping Inc. works through that stretch and the rest of the season — mowing, trimming, edging, landscaping upkeep, and spring and fall cleanups. Fall here is generous and relentless; leaves come down for weeks, and a yard has to be cleared more than once to stay clear. Doing it properly means a lawn that goes into winter tight and comes out of it breathing. Watching a property turn from cluttered to clean in a single afternoon is its own reward.
