November in Yarmouth is brown and quiet — the trails at Pratt's Brook Park go stiff underfoot and the puddles hold their ice past noon. That is the week Johnson's Property Services finishes the last cleanups and sets stakes along the driveways, so the plow has edges to follow when the first real storm arrives. Through the growing season those same properties are mowed, trimmed and kept neat right up to the mailbox post. Once winter lands it is plowing, shoveling and salt on the steps, most of it done before anyone has looked out a window. A place that never looks neglected is really a lot of small visits nobody notices, which is exactly the idea.
