By late October the maples around West Side Park have let go completely and the lawns underneath them simply vanish. Done Deal Landscaping & Design Contractor's spends those weeks on the unglamorous half of lawn care — raking and hauling the leaf load, taking the grass down one last careful time, cutting the beds and fence lines back so the yard can rest flat and clean. Newark autumns are short and windy; wait too long and the leaves mat down wet and smother whatever is underneath. Staying ahead of that is the entire discipline of the season. When the truck pulls off, the lawn looks bare and honest, set up to come back strong in April.
