A few roads out here still run under a full arch of old trees, and in late October they let go of everything at once. Upstate Lawn & Tree Service handles both halves of that, mowing, trimming and leaf cleanup on the ground, pruning and limb work above it. Big trees this far upstate carry real weight in a wet snow, and a limb thinned in September is a limb that doesn't come down across a driveway in December. Fall cleanup is the season's last favor to a lawn: get the mat of leaves off before it smothers what's underneath and spring turns easy. It is a satisfying kind of tired, raking a yard down until the grass shows through again.
