October is when Milton Township shows its color and then lets go of it all at once — maples turning the fence rows orange, then a windy night, then leaves knee deep against the porch steps. Diamond Landscape Maintenance Corp. meets that turn head on, running the final mowings low and clearing leaves off lawns, beds and walkways before the first hard freeze locks them down. A raked yard in late fall has a particular tidiness to it, everything squared away, ready for whatever the winter brings across the fields. The rest of the year is the same discipline in a different season: mow, trim, edge, keep the beds crisp. Properties look after their owners a little better when somebody looks after them first.
