A mowing stripe is only light bent one way and then the other, and on a long July afternoon near Allmendinger Park you can see it laid across a lawn like corduroy. Green Stripes Lawn Care LLC works for exactly that finish: the weekly cut at the right height, the trim tight against every post and border, the edge run clean where grass meets walk. Ann Arbor summers can go from soaking to parched inside a fortnight, and a lawn kept on schedule takes both of those in stride. Cleanups in spring and fall clear the way at either end of the growing season. The reward for all of it is standing out at the curb afterward and looking back down the yard.
