By late September the light over Clay tilts sideways and the maples along Verplank Road go copper at the tips. Outdoor Power LLC works right through that hinge in the year — closing out the mowing season with trims and cleanups, then turning to the plow when the first real snow comes down. The tools change; the standard does not. A lawn cut level, a driveway cleared to pavement, a walk you can carry groceries across without thinking about your footing. This town hands out both seasons in full measure, sometimes in the same week of November, and being ready for either one is the job.
