October comes down off the hills behind Belpre in one long week of color, and then it all lands in the yards. Triple L Lawns Landscaping & Labor is built for that kind of work — the last mows of the season, the leaves gathered and hauled away, the brush pile in the back corner finally dealt with. Mornings turn cold and clear, the river throws fog until nine, and a raked lawn under low sun looks like it has been given a fresh start. Labor is in the name because some of this is honest lifting: dragging limbs, loading debris, clearing the ground so nothing sits over winter smothering the turf. Come spring the mowing takes over again, but the fall tidy-up is what makes the spring easy.
