October along Grand River Avenue: the maples letting go, the ball fields at Founders Sports Park emptying an hour earlier every week. Wasmer Brothers Landscaping reads all of that as a countdown. There is the last of the mowing to get through, the growth cut back, the lawn set up right for the frost that is already on its way into Oakland County. Then the plows go on. Snow removal and lawn care across the turn of the year — a driveway cleared before a workday starts, a lawn cut true when the grass is running hard in June. Same yards, different tools.
