First frost usually catches Hackensack in the second half of October, silvering the lawns along Terrace Avenue before the sun clears the rooftops and takes it back. The sweetgums drop their spiny fruit into the grass, mowing starts winding down, and cleanups begin in earnest. Luca's Landscape & Construction runs that turn — last cuts, leaf work, edges recut so the winter does not blur them. Then plows and salt for the months when the only question that matters is whether the driveway is open by morning. Come May the mowers are back out and the block is unreasonably green again.
