The soil around Bridgman remembers the dunes it came from — light, sandy, quick to drain — so a lawn that thrives on it is a lawn someone has been minding. The Lawn Smith (A&T Smith LLC) minds them, mowing, trimming and edging yards through town and out toward the Warren Dunes ridgeline all season long. Summer evenings here finish with the sky going orange over the water, and grass cut that afternoon looks its absolute best in that light. The work stays regular and unhurried: right height, clean lines, borders finished by hand. Southwest Michigan hands out a long green season, and it is worth using every week of it.
