In May the Thunder Bay River runs high and brown past the wildlife sanctuary, the swans back on the water, and every yard in town wakes up at once demanding attention. Bryantt's Lawn Care meets that rush with the first cut of the year — the one that takes the shag off and gives the season its shape — then holds a regular mowing rhythm straight through the long green middle of summer. Trimming around trees and foundations, edging along drives and walks, and cleanups at both ends of the year round out the list. There is real pleasure in the striping left across a wide front lawn and in the tidy seam where grass meets stone. By October the rakes come out and the yard gets put to bed clean.
