By late October the Nutley streets that slope east toward the river turn the color of a struck match, and the light goes gold around five while there is still a lawn to finish. Petrucci Landscaping works into that light — the last mowings of the season, the trimming along fences and foundations, the edges recut so the beds stay defined once the growth stops. Then come the cleanups, load after load of leaves lifted off the grass before frost presses them flat. In spring it runs the other way, and the yards get opened back up for the first cut. Between those two ends lies a whole quiet year of keeping a Nutley property tidy, week over week.
