East of Big Rapids the county fills up with small lakes, and in August the grass around those places grows thick and fast in the humidity. Top Dawg Lawn and Power Wash keeps it cut — mowing on schedule, trimming down to the dock path and the shed corner, edging the drive, clearing the clippings so the walk stays clean for bare feet. A well-mowed lawn in high summer smells like the whole month at once. When the cottages quiet down the work turns to final cuts and leaf cleanup, and the yard goes into the cold looking squared away. Lawn care around Big Rapids, Mecosta and the lakes east of town.
