October turns the maples at For-Mar loose all at once, and for a few weeks Burton smells like wet leaves and cold rain. Ace Outdoor Services LLC spends that stretch finishing the mowing season and getting yards buttoned up before the ground goes hard. Then comes the switch: plows on, salt staged, phone on through the night, drives and walks opened while it is still dark out. Lawn care here runs on patience from May to November — mowing, trimming, keeping the borders tight — and snow work runs on being awake when nobody else wants to be. Both jobs end the same way, with a property that looks cared for from the road.
