Mid-Michigan mornings in Billings Township start low and silver, fog lying in the hollows until the sun burns it off the fencelines. Apricot's Services works those hours — mowing while the grass still holds dew, trimming close along posts and mailboxes, edging the drive so the line reads clean from the road. Out here a yard is the one square of order between hayfield and jack pine, and it deserves to look it. Come autumn the same trucks come back for the leaves the hardwoods drop across Gladwin County, raked and hauled until the turf can breathe again. It is lawn care measured in straight passes and a quiet ride home.
