October in the Wharton hills goes the color of old brass — goldenrod gone to seed at the field edges, asters holding on right where the mowers stop. Native Fields Landscaping works both halves of that picture: mowing, trimming, bed edging and mulch through the growing months, then leaf cleanups that take a lawn down to clean turf before the ground locks up. Winter swaps the decks for plows — driveways cleared, walks and steps shoveled, salt laid where a slope would otherwise glaze over. Storms in this corner of Morris County have a habit of arriving overnight, which is why the work begins while the streets are still empty. A property handed back in shape, in any month of the year, is the point of the whole thing.
