Late October in the Southern Tier turns the hills around Jamestown to rust and copper, and then, over about a week, drops all of it onto the lawns. Southern Tier Lawn Pros works that stretch hard — leaves blown and raked and carried off, beds cut back, the last mow of the year set low. The rest of the calendar runs steadier: weekly mowing, trimming, edging, mulch in the spring, seed wherever shade has thinned the turf. Out through Frewsburg, Kennedy and Gerry the yards run big and the field edges creep inward, so holding a line takes intent. A lawn that goes into December clean comes out of April already ahead.
