Past the last curb, Brighton Township goes to gravel, and in a dry August the dust settles on everything within fifty feet of the road. Stephens Property Services LLC keeps those places looking cared for anyway — mowing the open acreage, trimming the ditch line and the mailbox post, mulching beds, bringing hedges back to a shape. Cleanups come at both ends of the year, when beds fill with oak leaves and winter sand has to be raked out of the turf. There is real satisfaction in the moment a big rough lot suddenly reads as kept. Brighton, Brighton Township, Hartland and Howell.
