Saturday morning in the township's subdivisions: dew still silver on the grass, driveways empty, the street quiet enough to hear a mower two blocks off. Greener Lawns & Maintenance starts its day in that hour, cutting, edging, trimming and clearing the clippings before the neighborhood is properly up. Brownstown Charter Township grows in curves and cul-de-sacs, and a route here gets learned yard by yard — which strip floods, which corner burns out come August. Keeping a lawn green through a Michigan summer is mostly patience and timing, and both are on offer. By noon the street looks like somebody has been taking care of it, which is exactly the idea.
