Along the service drives of the Southfield Freeway the work gets measured in stops per hour, summer or winter alike. Lawn Dasher runs both routes — mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanups while the grass is going, then plowing, shoveling, and salting once it stops for the year. Speed is only worth something if the last yard of the day looks like the first, so the pace is quick and the finish is not rushed. Michigan hands out narrow windows — a dry afternoon between storms, a cold snap that has to be beaten — and the work is built to fit inside them. Property to property, keep moving, leave each one right.
