Fair week in August turns Branch County loud and dusty, and every yard in Coldwater seems to want cutting on exactly the same afternoon. M&D Outdoor Services Lawncare & Snowplowing works straight through it — mowing on rotation, trimming, edging, and taking on the bigger clearings when spring and autumn come around. Then the ground hardens, the first flakes cross US-12, and the trucks trade mowers for plows: drives cleared, walks opened, the property made passable at whatever hour the storm chooses. A year here is really two jobs held to one standard. Both of them get finished before anybody needs them.
