By mid-October the maples over Clawson's streets go gold all at once, and every lawn between 14 Mile and the schools vanishes underneath them inside a week. Soccer Moms Yard Signs works right through that drop — clearing leaves off the turf, mowing while the grass still asks for it, cutting the edges back along drives and walks. Through the summer it is a steadier rotation instead: level passes on tight city lots, a firm line where grass meets concrete, nothing ragged left behind the garage. Houses sit close together here, so one kept lawn quietly lifts the two beside it. That is a fine thing to be part of on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon.
