Spring rain reaches Coloma charter township off Lake Michigan for days at a stretch, and the Paw Paw River bottoms take their time giving it back. Stone Creek Lawn Care works between the showers — spring cleanups, first mows, trimming and edging once the ground firms up enough to hold a wheel. Bringing a soggy April yard back to sharp lines without tearing it takes patience more than horsepower. By mid-May those same lawns cut like carpet and the season finally has its rhythm. That turn is the best stretch of the whole calendar.
