West of town the land climbs toward the Caberfae ridges, high enough that snow lingers up there after Cadillac has already gone bare. Great Northern Lawn Services keeps a foot planted in each half of the year — mowing, trimming and edging while the ground is soft, plowing, shoveling and salting once it hardens. The changeover can happen inside a single November week out this way, so the equipment has to be ready before the sky makes up its mind. There is genuine pride in opening a driveway before dawn in February and striping a lawn by noon in June, same crew, same trucks. Cleanups in spring and fall carry the handoff between them.
