By the first week of November the oaks and maples shading these streets let go all at once, and the curb line vanishes under ankle-deep leaves. Ethan's Outdoor Cleanup shows up for exactly that — raking and blowing out beds and fence corners, clearing the lawn, carrying off far more than a few bags could ever hold. The rest of the year it is mowing and trimming, plus the March version of the same job, when winter's grit and broken sticks come out of the grass. A yard stripped clean in late fall goes into the cold healthier and wakes up faster in spring. There is a real pleasure in handing back a lawn that looks like nothing ever fell on it.
