By early November the maples over Ferndale let go all at once, and a lawn can vanish under a foot of gold and rust in one windy night. WedgWay/iNeedLeaves is built for that stretch — leaf cleanup and yard clearing that gets the turf breathing again before the ground goes cold for good. The rest of the year the work is steady mowing and trimming, holding lawns even from the first spring flush onward. Clearing a yard back down to green grass in late autumn is one of the more satisfying things a person can do outdoors around here. Ferndale, plus Pleasant Ridge, Huntington Woods, Berkley and Oak Park.
