November wind comes across the pine barrens toward Sears Bellows and strips whatever the oaks were still holding, and Southampton lawns disappear under leaf and needle in a single afternoon. Greenwood Land Care spends that stretch raking, blowing and carting all of it off — the open grass, the beds, the strip along the fence where drifts collect. Through the green months the same route is mowing, edging and trimming on a steady turn. Land care takes the long view: what comes off a lawn in November decides what comes up in April. On the last still day of the season, a cleared yard standing against bare branches is its own reward.
