October in Middlesex arrives all at once: one cold night off the ridge and the maples along the borough streets let go together. DS Tree Service and Landscaping meets that week head-on with lawn cleanups, hauling the drifts off the turf before they mat down and smother it. Through the green months the work is steadier — mowing, edging, trimming the strip between sidewalk and curb so the line stays sharp. Grass in this valley keeps growing later than people expect, and the final cuts of November matter as much as the first of April. A lawn raked bare and cut low goes into winter ready, and comes out of it green.
