West of Pontiac the ground rolls into low glacial hills, and by late October the oaks along them turn copper while the light off Galloway Lake comes in gold and sideways across the afternoon. That is the busiest stretch for Wild West Landscaping, deep in leaves: raking, blowing, hauling them off, bringing beds and turf back down to something clean before the cold sets over Oakland County. The rest of the year is the rhythm of mowing and trimming, walking a property until the grass sits even and the corners are honest. A yard finished at dusk, with the clippings gone and every line true, is worth standing back to look at. Neighbors up the block notice, which is how the work travels from Pontiac out toward Waterford, Keego Harbor, and Sylvan Lake.
