Spring is slow to commit around Addison. The creeks that drain toward the River Raisin run high and brown, the ground stays soft well into April, and then one warm week turns everything green at once. Land to Lakes Inc. meets that turn with the first cut of the year — mowing, edging, and hauling out the winter's litter of sticks and matted leaves. From there the work settles into a rhythm of weekly mowing and trim work, keeping farm lots, village yards and lake places tidy from thaw to hard frost. There is real satisfaction in that first cut: a yard comes back from brown to an even, unbroken green in a single afternoon.
