The Pocantico cuts west through Mount Pleasant toward Sleepy Hollow, and October along that water is the most theatrical the town gets — low sun, loud color, leaves coming down all day. Escobar's Landscaping spends those weeks clearing yards that fill faster than they can be emptied, then trades rakes and blowers for plows once the weather turns hard. Mowing season is the other half of the story, a summer of steady weekly cuts, tight trimming and driveways left swept. What carries across both is the finish: whether it is grass or snow, the property should look finished from the street. Nothing dramatic, just a yard that is ready — for company, for the school bus, for a morning that has to start on time.
