Out in Almont Township the lots get long — five acres, ten, a house up front and a field running behind it, with grass that has to be handled by the acre rather than the yard. Almont Acreage & Lawn does exactly that sort of mowing, plus the trimming and edging that keep a big property from drifting back toward wild. There is a rhythm to a wide open cut: long straight passes down the length of the ground, then careful work around the mailbox, the propane tank, the fence posts and the old apple tree. When it's finished, the whole place reads as tended, right out to the tree line. Lawn care across Almont Township and the country roads nearby.
