Upper Long Lake and Lower Long Lake sit a half mile apart with the road threaded between them, and in late April the ice goes off both in the same week. Long Lake Landscaping starts its year right about then — mowing the first thin growth, trimming back what winter flattened, cutting fresh edges along drives and beds. Lakeside lawns run all the way down to the water, so the cut has to stay tidy out to the last foot of grass. Through the summer it is the same steady circuit: mow, trim, edge, clear the clippings, until the yards read level and green from the road to the shoreline. Straightforward work, done on time, in a corner of Bloomfield Township that rewards it.
