October in the Finger Lakes is a short, blazing thing — the maples along Manchester's side streets turn all at once, and a week later they are lying on the ground. FLX Gutters & Lawn-Care works that stretch hard: leaf cleanups, the last cuts of the season, borders tidied before the cold sets the ground for good. Earlier in the year it is steady mowing and trimming, week after week, through the long green run between Clifton Springs and the outlet. It's a good feeling to hand back a yard that looks ready for winter rather than surrendered to it. Manchester and the Ontario County towns around it.
