Late September in Holmes turns the hillsides gold and the air goes clean and cool almost overnight. PRIDE LAWN CARE, NY works that fall stretch here — final mows, trimming, leaf cleanup off the lawns and out of the fence lines. Mulch and bed work go in where summer flattened things out, and borders are recut so the shapes read sharp again. Between Pawling and Patterson the properties run large and open, and a big lawn cut evenly corner to corner is a genuinely satisfying sight. Come April the same yards get their cleanup and first cut, and the whole cycle starts over.
