Almont's old street trees let go all at once in October, and a lawn can vanish under maple leaves over a single weekend. Yard Services Inc. handles the mowing, trimming and cleanup that carry a property through that, then swings into snow removal once the ground goes hard. Winter here comes in on a northwest wind with drifts building along every fence row, so drives and walks get opened, and then opened again. The reward is a property that never looks neglected in either direction — green and even in July, bare pavement and shoveled steps in February. Almont and the surrounding Lapeer County towns.
