West of the city the grid loosens and Ann Arbor's streets give way to Scio Township's long fields, where a subdivision lawn ends and a hayfield begins in the same sightline. Loy's Landscaping mows, trims and edges out here, handling the yard cleanups that come with wind-open property and a great deal of sky. On a late August evening the light goes copper across the cut and the mowing lines read all the way out to the road. Winter is a different geometry entirely: plowing drives that run long from the house to the pavement, clearing walkways, keeping people from having to think about it at all. Both halves come down to one thing — a property that is ready the moment its owner steps outside.
