October in Carriage Town comes down in maple leaves — a week of them, faster than anyone can rake alone. Klassic Lawn Care LLC works straight through it with final mows, cleanups, and the last edge of the year cut along sidewalks that were poured back when the carriages were still carriages. Then the ground locks, the tools change, and it becomes plowing and shoveling, keeping narrow city drives open between close-set houses. There is an order to that which feels good: the yard put to bed tidy, the winter route already mapped in your head. Come April the same beds get uncovered and the whole cycle begins again.
