October above Coeymans arrives from the top down: the ridge road maples go first, then the flats nearer the water, and every lawn in between fills with leaves overnight. Smart Property Services works that fall the way it works July — mowing while the grass still runs, trimming, edging, and hauling leaves off until the ground finally goes hard. There is a rhythm to it that a person can come to like, following the same properties around the year and watching them change. A yard raked clean and cut one last time before winter is a small, definite thing to leave behind. Coeymans looks best that way, ready for whatever the river sends next.
