Stony Creek Lake goes four colors in a year — pond-green in July, copper in October, slate under November rain, then white and silent. D'Angelos Landscaping keeps Washington properties on that same calendar, mowing, trimming, edging and clearing the yard at both ends of the growing season. When the metropark trails go quiet, the trucks change over to plowing drives and lots, shoveling walks, and salting the shaded stretches that never quite let go. The township mixes subdivisions with old acreage, and both kinds of ground get the same steady rhythm of visits. A place that is tended looks it from the road, in any month you care to drive by.
