October is the hinge of the year in Wanaque. The hills north toward Monksville go copper and then bare, the leaves come down in about a week, and every lawn in the borough needs clearing before the ground hardens. Scott H Thaler Landscaping LLC works both sides of that hinge, with fall cleanups, mowing, trimming and edging through the growing months, then plowing, shoveling and de-icing once driveways start disappearing overnight. Winter up against these ridges does not ask politely, so the answer is being out early enough that nobody has to wonder. Then April comes back around, the grass starts again, and the mowers go on.
