October along the Fred Meijer Flat River Trail turns the maples loose all at once, and every lawn in Greenville wears a week's worth of leaves by Friday. That is the stretch this crew leans into: leaf cleanup, a final mowing, edges recut before the ground hardens, the yard put away clean. Through the green months it is the ordinary rhythm — cut, trim, edge, repeat — and when the thaw comes the winter's litter comes off the grass first thing. Nothing showy about any of it. Just a lawn you can walk out onto without wading.
