Out this way the roads end at water — over toward Fair Haven you can drive a straight mile and find the pavement giving up at a boat well. Preferred Lawn & Landscape, LLC works the properties along those last few blocks: mowing, trimming, edging, mulch, bed care and spring and fall cleanups. October is the honest month for it, low sun, long shadows, the leaves coming off all at once and everything asking to be put to bed neatly. There is pride in a place that looks finished heading into winter — beds clean, turf short, corners taken. Come the first squall off the bay, it holds its shape.
