From the high ground of Black Mountain you can see how this county is built — a dark quilt of hardwood and cedar with the Black River threading through it and the lake glinting at the far edge. Northern MI Lawn Maintenance works the properties tucked into that landscape, mowing and trimming through the growing months and running the plow once the roads go white. Summer visits keep the lawn even and the edges tight, right up to the gravel and the woodline. Winter visits mean driveways opened, walkways cleared, and salt down where the shade holds ice long after the sun is out. Up here the calendar has two halves and both of them need somebody with a truck who shows up.
