October turns Franklinville's long back lots gold and then bare, and a property that isn't kept up looks it faster in fall than in any other month. Saud Services Property Maintenance LLC takes on the whole of it — mowing while the grass still grows, edges cut in along drives and walks, hedges trimmed back, beds mulched, and the leaves moved out for good before the cold sets in. Lots run deep here between the farm fields, so a full cleanup is an honest day rather than an hour. The payoff comes at dusk, when the yard is bare and even and every line reads clean from the road. Then it all starts over with the first green in March.
