Autumn takes its time in Jefferson, the maples going one branch at a time until a hard night finishes the job and the whole yard is gold by morning. Shawver & Son Landscaping Services meets it with leaf work — clearing the lawn, the beds and the walks so the grass can breathe going into winter. The rest of the year runs on mowing: a set week, a steady height, trimmed edges, and clippings cleared off the pavement every time. Yards here sit among fields and old trees, which means shade in one corner and full sun in the next, and each part gets cut for what it is. Handled that way, a lawn looks right in every month somebody happens to look at it.
