October in the town of Maryland drops everything at once: maple leaves across the yards, brush along the fencelines, a whole summer's growth suddenly loose on the ground. Ryan's Landscaping and Waste Management handles both halves of that — mowing, trimming, edging and landscape work through the season, then the cleanups and the brush and debris hauling that carry it all away. A yard that was ankle-deep at breakfast and swept bare by afternoon, the truck loaded and the grass showing green again underneath, is the day's reward. The Otsego County hills hold their color late, and a cleared yard beneath them looks ready for whatever comes next. Maryland, Schenevus, Worcester, Westford, Milford and the roads around them are where the truck goes.
