November is the hinge of the year. Around Texas Township, near the trails at Al Sabo, the last mowing happens in a cold drizzle and the first plowing sometimes arrives the very same week. Elite Landscape and Snow Services LLC works both sides of that hinge — mowing, trimming and edging while the grass still asks for it; plowing, shoveling and salting the moment it stops. There's a specific gladness to the first storm of a season, when the truck is loaded and the route is already running in your head. A driveway cleared to the pavement, a walk taken down to concrete, and the day can start on time.
