A lot of Brighton grows in shade: oak and hickory left standing when the streets went in, so the grass beneath them comes in thin, cool and slow. D&G Natures Way Lawn Care reads that difference and mows to it, going early while dew still sits in the low spots and the air smells like wet bark. Trimming follows the tree rings and the mailbox posts, then the blower sends everything back off the drive and into the beds where it belongs. Cleanups come in April and again when the oaks finally let go, which around here is late. It is lawn care for Brighton and the townships out toward Howell and Whitmore Lake, done in the order the ground asks for.
