Evening in Bedford Charter Township arrives long and gold, the light running flat across yards that have been mowed since morning. DJ Lawn & Landscaping LLC spends those days on lawn care and landscaping, cutting, edging, trimming, laying mulch and shaping beds, then spends the dark half of the year behind a plow. The soil here is heavy lakeplain clay, slow to drain and quick to grow, so a lawn rewards anyone willing to keep after it. Come January the same driveways get measured in inches of snow instead of inches of grass, and cleared just as squarely. Work runs across the township and out toward Erie, Ottawa Lake and Monroe.
