By September a southeast-Michigan lawn has told on itself: the thin strip along the road that winter scraped bare, the bald patch under the maple, the ruts a delivery truck pressed into April mud. Yard Repair Man reads a yard exactly that way, as a list of things that can be put right. Late-summer air in Bedford Township is warm all day and cool by dark, the ground still holding heat while the dew comes back at night — the stretch of the year when bare dirt is most willing to turn green again. Repair work first, then mowing and cleanup, then the ordinary upkeep that keeps the mended spots mended. Lawn care for Bedford Township and the country out toward Whiteford and Ottawa Lake.
