October runs down the slopes toward Newtown Creek in about a week — maple, then oak, then bare — and Elmira yards go from mowing to hauling almost overnight. Superior Landscaping handles both ends of that turn, cutting and trimming through the season, clearing the leaf fall, then returning with a plow when the first real storm parks itself over the county. Autumn is the test that counts: a yard raked out in November is a yard that will not fight you in April. Winter rewards the same habit — early passes, salt where the walk holds shade, banks stacked clear of the sightlines. Neat in fall, open in February.
