Spring in Bear Lake Township shows up as mud on the gravel roads and a winter's worth of sticks scattered over every yard. Bams Cleaning Service starts the season right there, clearing what the wind knocked down, then settling into a steady rhythm of mowing, trimming and yard upkeep once the ground firms up. Out here parcels run big and the grass comes on fast between rains. A property that looked ragged in April can look tended by the second cut, and that turn is the good part. Service runs across Bear Lake Township and the neighboring Manistee County communities.
