September turns the maples between Sanford and Midland one branch at a time, and the yards underneath begin needing more raking than cutting. Midland Lawn & Yard handles both ends of it — mowing while the grass still wants a blade, trimming and edging, then leaf cleanup and hauling as the canopy lets go in earnest. Fall work here is a race with the wind, since one gusty night can undo a clean yard before breakfast. Getting a property buttoned up before the ground locks is the last good favor anyone can do it. The reward shows in April, when the lawn comes back instead of struggling.
