October is the reward for a Hampton County summer: the fields go pale, the humidity finally lifts, and seven in the morning is cool enough to want a jacket. KLS Custom Services spends those weeks under the live oaks in Estill's older yards, where Spanish moss keeps letting go and the ground needs clearing again and again. Mowing continues while the grass still wants it; edging and trimming keep the shape of a yard readable even as growth slows. Then comes the season's real labor — raking, blowing and hauling off leaves and yard debris until the lawn underneath shows plain and open. There is a particular pleasure in standing at the curb afterward and seeing nothing out of place.
