About AW Landscapes

Morning on Lake Mitchell comes up out of the mist, and the lawns around Clam Lake Township hold their dew long after the coffee is gone. AW Landscapes starts once the grass dries — mowing in even lines, edging the walk and the drive, working tight around birch trunks and dock steps. Sandy ground and lake air make for a particular kind of turf: it wants a considered height and a sharp cut, never a rush job. Cleanups bracket the year, pulling winter's litter out of the corners in April and staying ahead of the leaf drop in October so the grass goes into the cold with room to breathe. A yard finished on a still afternoon here, flat water beyond it, is the sort of thing worth stopping to look at.
