Late October turns the ditch lines and river bottoms of Wales Township the color of old brass, and then the leaves come down in about a week and a half. LoMac Lawn Service LLC spends that stretch mowing what is still growing and hauling off what has already fallen — cleanups, trimming, edging, and the last careful passes before the ground goes hard. A yard cleared ahead of the first heavy frost comes back better in May, which makes the extra afternoon easy to justify. Through the warm months the mowing stays on schedule so no lawn ever gets ahead of anyone. Fields, farm lanes and township lots, cut clean and squared up to the walk.
