The Lenawee County Courthouse tower is visible from most of Adrian, and it keeps the kind of time this work runs on — lots cleared before the doors open, grass cut before the week gets away. Beaubien Companies INC handles both ends of that calendar: mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups through the warm months, then plowing, shoveling and salting once winter settles over the flat country around town. Commercial drives and residential ones ask for different rhythms, but the standard holds — surface open, edges square, nothing left half-done. Snow here does not always fall politely, and a night wind out of the northwest can undo an afternoon's work, so the crew comes back. Adrian expects to keep moving, and this is part of how it does.
