Alaiedon township is flat enough that you can watch a thunderstorm build for an hour before it arrives, dragging its gray skirt across the fields between Mason and Holt while Sycamore Creek runs low under the road. Kaleb's Lawn Care works around that weather — mowing in the cool of the morning, coming back for trimming and edging once the ground firms up again. Ingham County grass grows hard through June and slows to a crawl in August, and the schedule bends to it rather than the other way around. Autumn brings leaf work, the last cut, the yard put away neat before the cold. It is straightforward lawn care for houses on township roads, and the pride sits in the finish: a sharp, unwavering border where lawn meets drive.
