There is a week in May when Brighton is almost too green — everything leafed out at once, grass gaining an inch overnight, the whole town smelling like rain on warm pavement. Lush Lawn Brighton is built for that week and the twenty-odd that follow it: mowing on a steady turn, edges kept crisp, thin patches overseeded until they catch up with the rest of the yard. Trimming closes whatever the deck cannot reach, and the concrete gets cleared before the truck pulls away. Fall brings leaves and the last low cut of the year. Green Oak Township, Hamburg and South Lyon keep the same rhythm as Brighton itself.
