Tuesday, mid-morning, the water tower catching a clean piece of sun over the rooftops, and the mowers are already three streets in. Fougnie Professional Lawn works Clawson the way you work a place you know by heart — same route, same order, with mowing, trimming, edging, fertilizing and cleanups timed to what the grass is actually doing that week. Michigan turf grows hard through June, sulks in an August dry spell, then comes roaring back on the September rain, and the schedule bends around all of it. What gets left behind is a lawn with a grain to it, stripes running the long way, edges cut sharp along drive and walk. Modest work, carried out to the last few feet.
