October turns the streets of Salina copper and then buries the lawns under all of it within a week. N.C.A. Property Services works that season hard: leaves cleared off the grass and out of the beds, the final cuts of the year taken low, the property put to bed before the ground locks up. Earlier in the year the same lawns get mowed and trimmed on rotation, which is what makes autumn manageable instead of overwhelming. Properties with tenants or absent owners especially need somebody keeping the schedule without being asked. A yard that stays handled all twelve months never has to be reclaimed.
