The oaks along the cemetery hill on Lackawanna's east side let go all through October, and for a few weeks the whole city smells like leaves. Hopkins Service, LLC spends that stretch on cleanups — raking, clearing beds, carrying off the drifts that pile against fences before the first wet snow presses them flat. The rest of the year is mowing and trimming on a steady turn, with the borders cut so lawns keep their shape from the curb. Handing back a yard that looks put in order, lines sharp and ground clear, is the whole reason for the trip. Hopkins works Lackawanna and neighboring Blasdell, West Seneca, Hamburg and Buffalo.
