June in Brownstown Township arrives all at once: the lake plain flattens the light, the evenings run long, and the grass grows faster than anyone planned for. Brooks Landscaping keeps up with it with regular mowing, trimming and edging, and the steady upkeep that keeps a yard from getting ahead of its owner. Flat ground is honest ground, too, since every stripe shows and every line along the drive is either straight or it isn't. That is the pleasure of the job, standing back at the end of an afternoon in a Downriver neighborhood and seeing a whole lawn read as one clean piece. The rounds range across Brownstown and out toward Woodhaven, Trenton, Flat Rock and Rockwood.
