October runs the borough's maples from green to copper in about ten days, and then every lawn in New Milford disappears under them at once. Perla Lawn Maintenance & Landscaping meets that with rakes, blowers and a truck that comes back twice, until the grass is showing again and the storm drains are open before the rain. Through the growing months it is the steady work — mowing, trimming, keeping beds and borders honest — on the tight blocks between River Road and the reservoir water north of town. When January closes in, those same driveways get plowed and the walks get cleared and salted. One place, tended all the way around the calendar.
