November is the hinge. Along Orchard Lake Road the last leaves let go, the mowers make one final pass, and then the plows go on — San Marino Outdoor Services works both sides of that turn. Through the green months the job is mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups; through the white ones it's plowing drives and lots, clearing walks, and putting salt where runoff keeps making ice in the same three feet. Knowing a property in summer makes it easier to plow in winter, because you know exactly where the pavement ends. Same ground, two different jobs, and both end with a place that's ready to be used.
