Autumn is the honest season in Port Washington: geese wheeling over Baxter's Pond, the light going long and gold down the slope toward Main Street. Jack & Son Landscaping meets it with leaves cleared off the lawns and out of the beds, hedges shaped before the cold sets in, and one last low, even cut to carry the grass into winter. The rest of the year runs on a weekly beat — mowing, trimming around posts and stone, mulch raked smooth in the borders. What the work leaves behind is a yard that reads calm from the sidewalk, edges held, nothing shaggy in the corners. That calm is the entire point of it.
