October along Schoenherr is a slow gold avalanche — the maples let go all at once and the curb lines fill by Friday. Action Landscaping LLC meets that with rakes, blowers and a truck bed, then meets January with a plow blade. Through the growing months the routine is mowing, trimming, edging and clearing out the beds; through the cold ones it is opening driveways, shoveling walks and putting salt where the ice sets up hard. Sterling Heights is a city of corner lots and long aprons, and every one of them has a spot that freezes first. Knowing exactly where those spots are turns out to be most of the job.
