November is the hinge of the year in Freehold Township — oak leaves down in drifts one week, the first flurries chasing them across the road the next. Three Brothers Maintenance LLC works both sides of that turn: mowing, edging and fall cleanups right up to the frost, then plowing, clearing walkways and salting once winter has the ground. Toward Millstone and the Assunpink country the wind carries snow a long way, and out here a job isn't finished until the last apron is scraped and the salt is spread. That handoff is the point — a lawn put to bed in good order, a driveway open by morning. West Freehold, Freehold Township, Manalapan, Millstone and Englishtown.
