The Black River winds through Clyde Township in slow loops, past woodlots and hayfields and the back roads that run inland from Port Huron, and on summer mornings the fog sits in the low ground until the sun takes it. Lakeside Lawn Services, LLC is usually out by then — mowing, trimming along fence lines and bank edges, keeping big rural lawns even from the house down to where the mowing stops. Beds get weeded and edged, and the seasonal cleanups bracket the year: branches and matted thatch off in spring, leaves off before the ground freezes. What you want from a country lawn is that it looks intended rather than merely cut, and that comes from showing up on schedule. Around Ruby, Kimball and the Clyde Township roads, that is the routine.
