Out past the village the ground opens into pasture and hay fields, and June evenings around Chelsea go the particular gold that only standing grass makes. Green Pastures works the tended version of that: mowing, trimming, edging, and the spring and fall cleanups that bookend the growing months. Big properties here take patience — you cut them in long passes and watch the color change behind you. There is real pleasure in a lawn that meets a field cleanly, one side kept and one side left wild. Washtenaw County grass runs hard from May to September, and keeping ahead of it is the job.
