By the third week of October the leaves in Ossining stop drifting and start arriving in drifts, banking against the retaining walls and filling the low corners of every terraced yard in town. It is heavy, unglamorous, deeply satisfying work to clear it — hours of raking and blowing for a result you can see from the end of the street. Montes landscaping & tree services corp handles that season along with the mowing, trimming, edging and mulching that fill the months before it. A lawn stripped clean and cut one last time before the cold sets in is a good place to leave a property for the winter. Ossining and the towns nearby are worked from the first growth of spring to the last load hauled off in fall.
