By late October the light over Holly Township goes thin, the maples along Grange Hall Road let go all at once, and the ground starts hardening overnight. Gold star landscape L.L.C. works both ends of that turn: the last mows and leaf hauling in fall, then plowing and shoveling once the driveways go white. Winter here comes in long grey stretches, and the task is to have a drive passable at six in the morning and the path to the door cleared and salted before anyone steps out. When the thaw finally arrives the mowers come back — cutting, edging, trimming, tidying up so a yard looks new again. Two seasons, one set of properties, the same attention given to each.
