By mid-October the prairie grass at Asylum Lake has gone bronze, and the west-side maples let go of everything inside a single week. Naylor Landscape Management spends that stretch keeping Kalamazoo yards ahead of the fall — turf mowed down clean, leaves lifted off the grass before the rains mat them flat. It is unglamorous work, and it is the whole difference between a lawn that comes back in April and one that sulks. Then the ground hardens, the blade goes on, and the job becomes plowing and clearing while the town is still asleep. Lawn and grounds care in season, snow removal across Kalamazoo and the townships around it.
