By the second week of October the maples along the Delaware go over all at once, and Delhi spends the next month underneath them. Total Yard Solution LLC takes on that end of the year — leaf removal, fall cleanups, and the last cuts taken low so the lawn goes into winter tidy. Earlier in the season it is the weekly work: mowing, trimming, edging, mulch around the beds once spring finally commits to itself. Gold light comes early in a Catskill valley, and a raked lawn standing in it looks like the year was finished on purpose. Nothing dramatic — just a yard that never gets ahead of anybody.
