By mid-October the maples along the Urbandale side streets let go all at once, and every lawn in the neighborhood disappears under a week's worth of yellow. Brad's Lawn Services meets that with blowers, rakes and a truck that keeps coming back until the turf shows again. The rest of the year runs steady — weekly mowing, string trimming along fences and mailbox posts, a crisp line cut where lawn meets sidewalk. Then the season flips: blade down, walks cleared, the plow ridge at the end of the drive knocked back before the morning run out to Michigan Avenue. Battle Creek hands you both jobs, and doing both is the whole point.
