October at the Blackwells Mills crossing runs gold and then bare in about three weeks, and Somerset spends the whole month under falling leaves. V&M LAWN SERVICES LLC handles that tail end of the season — the last mows, the cleanups, leaves cleared off the grass and out of the beds before the first freeze locks them in place. Through the warm months it is the weekly round instead: cut, trim, edge, and the trimmings taken off the walk. A lawn kept level all summer arrives at November looking as though it was never any trouble at all. That is what the work is for, up and down Franklin Township.
