October drags the color down out of the hills between Brighton and South Lyon, and every lawn in between gets buried a little deeper each week. Rauhe Bros Landscaping meets that with leaf cleanup, the final cuts of the year, and bed edges cut back clean before the ground hardens. In the green months the routine is mowing on schedule, trimming, and edging walks and driveways. This is heavy, rolling ground with old oaks standing in it, and a lawn here rewards patience more than speed. There is a real pleasure in standing back at the end of a cleanup and seeing nothing but grass.
