Watch a year pass from the edge of Nutley's Park Oval and you get the whole assignment: turf to hold even through the long green stretch, leaves to move in November, and then the white months. McMillan Landscape Contractors takes both halves — mowing, trimming and edging while the ground is growing, plowing and clearing once it isn't. Autumn is the hinge, when a yard can go from cut-and-tidy to ankle-deep in three windy days. Winter work here starts before the alarm clocks: driveways opened, walks scraped and treated, the apron at the curb cut back so the plow's leftovers don't seal anyone in. Either season, the reward is the same and it is simple — a property that looks looked-after.
