October in Albion lays maple leaves across the old brick sidewalks faster than anyone can keep up with them. Next Generation Landscaping LLC stays ahead of it with fall cleanups, leaf removal and the last mowings of the year taken low, so the turf goes into winter tidy. Once the snow starts the trucks switch to plowing — driveways opened, walkways cleared, storm after storm until the ground reappears in March. Then it all begins again: spring cleanup, weekly mowing, trimming and edging through the long green middle of the year. A full trip around the calendar, one Albion street at a time.
