In the Old Fourth Ward the front gardens are older than most of the people tending them, and they show it quickly when left alone a couple of weeks. Paul's Professional Weeding Service goes at that close to the ground: weeding beds and borders, clearing along brick paths and foundation plantings, and keeping the lawn itself mowed, trimmed and edged around them. July in Ann Arbor is humid enough that anything unwanted doubles overnight, so the work is patient and repeated rather than dramatic. What comes out the other side is a bed with dark soil showing, plants with room to be themselves, and a turf line that stops exactly where it should. Spring and fall cleanups round out the year on those old shaded streets.
