The oaks in this corner of Oakland County hold their leaves long after the maples have let go, so autumn cleanup in Novi runs later than newcomers expect — brown leaves still sifting down in the second week of November. Great Oaks Landscape Associates, Inc. works that long tail and everything on either side of it: mowing, trimming and edging while the grass is running, plowing and treating walks once the cold sets in for good. There is a good feeling in the changeover, when the mowers come off the trailer and the plows go on. A property looked after right through the year never has a rough month in it. Serving Novi and the towns nearby.
