October is the loud month in Fulton County — wind off the foothills, maples letting go all at once, whole streets gone orange overnight. DJs lawn care service spends it hauling leaves off lawns that would smother under them by Thanksgiving, working curb strips and back corners until the turf can breathe again. Earlier in the year the job is simpler and steadier: mow, trim, keep after the growth, week after week. There is something satisfying about a raked yard in late fall, bare and tidy, ready to go under snow. Then the ground rests, and in April it all begins again.
