Downtown Cadillac hears its first mower before the shops on Mitchell Street unlock their doors. A1 Lawn Care keeps the in-town squares and boulevard strips cut, trimmed and edged — the sort of small rectangles that look like nothing at all until somebody does them wrong. Wexford County grass runs hard through June and slows to almost nothing by late August, and the route bends to that instead of fighting it. What the work is really after is a clean line where turf meets sidewalk and a lawn that still holds its stripe on day six. Cleanups bracket the year at both ends: winter debris carried out in April, leaves carried off in October.
