Autumn along the Route 1 corridor announces itself as a change in the light more than the temperature — low gold across the sheds and stubble fields by four in the afternoon. Green Leaf Property Management Services keeps grounds through that turn, mowing while the grass still pushes, cutting beds back to a clean line, and hauling off the leaf fall before it mats down and smothers the turf. When the first hard freeze sets in, the same attention shifts to plowing lots and drives and laying de-icer on the walks. Kennett Township holds farm ground and neighborhood streets side by side, and both want someone who turns up on the ordinary weeks, not only the dramatic ones. What gets left behind is easy to read from the road: trimmed edges, an open drive, a place that plainly has someone looking after it.
