Where Fairfield runs up against the wooded low ground of Hatfield Swamp, the red maples turn early and send their leaves out over the yards nearby. Imperial Lawns LLC handles whatever falls — raking, blowing, hauling, the cleanup that clears turf before the ground goes cold — plus the mowing and trimming and edge work that fill the months before it. There is a particular pleasure in the last pass of the year, when a lawn goes into winter bare and green and clean. Come spring, the cleanup opens it all back up again. This close to the wetlands the leaf year is long, and the work is real.
