September is the North Shore's honest month — nights cool down, the harbor lets go of its heat, and grass that struggled all August finally comes back to itself. Will Rizzo Landscaping works that window hard: mowing, trimming, edging, feeding and overseeding while the soil is still warm enough to take it. Out toward Lattingtown Road the light goes long by four o'clock, and a fresh cut holds its color right into evening. After that comes the fall cleanup, load after load, until the lawn is bare and breathing ahead of the freeze. Glen Cove lawns that get their autumn attention are the ones that come out of March looking like they never went away.
