October along Peeptoad Road smells of windfall apples and woodsmoke, and the maples let go all at once after the first hard night. Lucier landscaping LLC works that turning — fall cleanups, leaves pulled off beds and lawn and hauled away, the last mowings of the year taken low, edges tightened before the ground goes hard. Come spring the same trailer is back to clear the winter's scatter and start the mowing over again. A lawn put away properly in autumn wakes up better in April; that is most of the trick. Nothing showy in it, just a yard left clean under a bare sky.
