October wind comes up the Connecticut valley and Hinsdale catches it full — leaves off the big maples in a single afternoon, and then the year tips over toward winter. Nichols Tree Care works both sides of that tipping point, with mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups through the green months, then plowing, shoveling and sanding once storms start riding the river corridor down. Yards here sit under old trees, which makes for deep shade in July and a great deal to gather in November. They gather it. Winter mornings mean an open drive before the Route 119 traffic starts moving toward the bridges. Two seasons, one property, tended straight through.
