Evenings in Lamotte the wind comes off open ground and moves through a yard like a hand over cloth, and a lawn cut well shows every bit of it. Michels Lawn Care works for exactly that — the same height everywhere, clean passes, no scalped rises and no missed strip along the ditch. The weekly cut is the spine of it, with trimming around trees and utility poles and the edges kept sharp along the drive. Autumn adds the leaves, cleared out of the beds and off the turf while the weather still allows for it. It is ordinary work, and it is what keeps a block looking like it is being kept.
