A branch of the Rouge threads quietly through Beverly Hills, and the lawns near it green up first in spring and hold their color longest into fall. Steve's Lawn Care Services mows those yards on a steady rotation — grass cut at an even height, edges cut sharp along the drive, clippings cleared off the walk so the only sign anyone came is how the place looks. Under the village's big maples a lawn is a patchwork of shade and sun, and each stretch wants something a little different. Late-day light coming sideways across a fresh cut is the best proof of the work. In November the leaves take over, and they come off the same yards before the ground locks up.
