Pettis Avenue climbs a moraine ridge where you can watch weather arrive from a long way off, which turns out to be useful in this line of work. Northland Lawncare keeps Ada township lawns mowed, trimmed and edged through the growing stretch, and clears the debris off them at both ends of it. When the forecast turns, the same trucks go out with plows for driveways and lots, shovels for the walks, and salt for the glaze that follows a thaw. Mowing and plowing ask for different tools and the same attention. Either way, the property comes back ready to use.
