The Kalamazoo River makes a slow bend through Allegan and widens behind the dam into Lake Allegan, and the whole township takes its light and its weather from that water. Kelly Property Maintenance keeps the lawns on either side of it — town lots up on the hill, river places down in the bottomland where the grass grows thick and fast. Mowing, string-trimming and edging carry the summer; spring and fall cleanups bookend it. A humid Allegan County July pushes a lawn hard, and the answer is simply arriving on schedule and cutting it right. The result is worth the drive by: even color, clean edges, a yard that looks settled into its place.
