The Muskegon River makes its wide turn right through the middle of Big Rapids, and the whole town keeps time with it. B&C lawn Maintenance works the streets that slope down toward that water — mowing them green through the long light of July, edging the walks until the line between grass and concrete is one clean stroke. Come winter the same drives get opened before the first car door does: plowed, shoveled to the step, salted where boots will land, while the river steams in the cold. There is a particular satisfaction in a yard that looks looked-after and a driveway that looks like nothing ever fell on it. Lawn care and snow removal, one town, both halves of the year.
