By late October the hill above Goffle Road turns the color of a struck match, and a week later all of it is lying on the grass. Downes Tree Service, Inc. handles the lawn work that follows across Hawthorne — leaf cleanups, mowing right through to the final cut of the year, edging the beds back into their shape. There is a plainness to a lawn raked bare in November that is almost handsome. Come the thaw, those same yards get their cleanup, their feeding and their weekly cut, and the whole round begins again. The turf here is stubborn stuff; it pays back attention.
