October turns the leaves copper and lifts the humidity all at once, making it the easiest month of the year to be outside working. Down to Earth Landscaping & Irrigation LLC uses that window well: leaves cleared, beds cut back and re-mulched, irrigation shut down ahead of the first hard freeze, and mowing continued as long as the grass keeps growing. Edges are re-cut in fall so a yard holds its shape through the bare months. When spring returns the system goes back on and the weekly mowing picks up right where it left off.
