Out toward Fardale the road narrows and the oaks close overhead, and for a few weeks every autumn Mahwah turns the color of a struck match. Leaf Out Landscaping LLC keeps pace with all of it — mowing while the season still holds, hauling leaves off before they mat down and smother the turf, then trading blades for a plow when the first storm crosses the ridge. Winter arrives sideways off these hills, and a driveway opened early is the difference between an ordinary Tuesday and a lost one. Come April the same lawns take their first cut, and the line where grass meets gravel gets drawn sharp again. One crew, both halves of the Mahwah year.
