In October the Nissequogue runs cold and clear through Caleb Smith State Park Preserve, and the maples along the water turn before the oaks ever think about it. Anthony Associates Landscape keeps its calendar to that rhythm — heavy leaf work as the canopy lets go, a last low cut, beds cut back and edged for the cold months. Through the growing season it is mowing and trimming on a steady rotation, week after week, so nothing ever gets ahead of the crew. There is real satisfaction in a lawn put to bed properly: edges defined, beds tidy, nothing left to blow into the street. Smithtown yards get that treatment, and so do the ones out toward St. James and Head of the Harbor.
