The lake keeps Brant warm a little longer than the towns inland, so the grass is still growing here when the maples have already let go. Millers Lawn & Maintenance mows into that late stretch, then turns to the leaves — raking, clearing, carrying the piles off the lawn before the wet weather sets in. Through the season it is weekly cutting, trimming around trees and posts, and edging where walks meet grass. General property upkeep fills the gaps: the small tidying that keeps a yard looking tended between visits. Come the first snow the lawns go under bare and even, which is how you want them to sleep.
