Brighton sits on sorted glacial ground — sand and gravel dropped in a hurry — and by mid-July a lawn on that soil will tell you all about it. Landscaping and Irrigation services keeps the water moving: systems started up in spring, heads adjusted so the spray lands on grass instead of driveway, leaks chased down, lines blown out ahead of the first hard freeze. Around that runs the ordinary good work of mowing, trimming, mulching and cleanups. At five in the morning a yard under sprinklers throws a fine gray mist, and by seven you would never know anything happened except for the color. Brighton, Howell, Hartland and the lakes in between.
