October in Massena is a short, bright argument between the maples and the wind, and the wind wins it by the end of the month. Tidy Homes & Trimmed Lawns LLC works that stretch hard — leaf removal, fall cleanups, the last mowings of the year, and hedges and shrubs trimmed back before the cold sets them in place. The rest of the season it is steady weekly mowing, string trimming, and a clean line where grass meets the walk. Yards near the center of town run small and neatly fenced; out toward the open flats they widen and want a different rhythm altogether. Either way the pleasure is the same — walking away from a lot that looks finished, right down to the last corner.
