October on M-15. Combine dust hanging in the air east of Davison Township, maples going hard red along the subdivision streets, and the first real frost showing up in the weekend forecast. Chadricos lawncare and snow removal treats this as the turn of the year: last cuts, leaf cleanups, blades and plows trading places in the shop. Then the township goes quiet and white, and the same drives that got mowed all summer get opened before breakfast instead. Two kinds of work on one set of properties, with the same intention behind both — that nobody has to think about their yard or their driveway at all.
