October is the hinge of the year in Genesee County: one week the deck comes off the truck, the next the blade goes on. Gray's Mow & Snow LLC. works both sides of that turn in Mount Morris township — mowing, trimming and fall cleanup while the oaks let go, then plowing and salting once Pine Run runs under ice. Same properties, same route, a different tool bolted to the front. There is a real pride in knowing a place well enough to remember where the culvert edge hides under six inches of snow. Grass or ice, the ground gets handled by somebody who already knows it.
