There is old limestone under Bay Port, and the town has always been shaped by what it could pull out of the ground and off the water. Lee's Landscaping Inc. keeps the green side of it — lawns mown, string-trimmed and edged, borders tidied, clippings carried off so nothing sits on the walk. Midsummer afternoons out here run bright and windy, the kind of light that shows every missed line, which is exactly why the passes get laid down with care. Sandy ground near the shore dries fast, so a cut gets timed to what the grass is doing rather than to the calendar. A finished yard in a small Thumb town reads plainly from the road, and that is the whole point.
