By October the wind comes off the Pointe Mouillee marshes with the water in it, and every yard in Brownstown Charter Township starts letting go of its leaves at once. ClippersGroupLLC meets that season straight on with cleanups, mowing, edging and trimming, working a lawn down to something tidy enough to face the cold. Then the year turns and the crew turns with it, opening drives, walks and lots after a snowfall off Lake Erie. There is a particular pleasure in standing back from a finished yard while the geese go over in strings toward the water. The clippings go, the snow goes, and the place looks cared for either way.
