October changes Marmora quietly: traffic thins on Roosevelt Boulevard, the oaks along Route 9 let go all at once, and every lawn in town needs clearing before the first hard rain flattens the leaves into the grass. Home and Healthy Handyman Services handles that stretch and the whole growing season ahead of it — mowing, edging, string trimming and hauling yard debris off rather than raking it to the curb. Grass grows in sand here, which takes a steady hand on the deck height and a patient eye for the shady corners. Come March the beds are opened back up and the first cut goes down as soon as the ground warms. The work stays close to home in Marmora, Seaville, Palermo, Tuckahoe and neighboring Upper Township.
