Two things collect on a house through a Bay City winter, grime and grass, in that order. When the thaw finally settles in and the brick down along Water Street starts drying out, Tyler's Lawn Care & Power Washing arrives with the wand first, taking the gray film off siding, driveways, walks and decks. Then the mower starts and the year becomes weekly cutting, trimming and edging while the days stretch toward the bay's long evenings. At the other end of it the plow and the shovel handle the drives and walkways, storm by storm, so the mornings stay simple. A clean house and a cut lawn come from the same instinct, running six months apart.
