Off Ford Road the city runs in tidy numbered blocks, one lot after another, each with its own square of grass to answer for. Dearborn's lawn service works that grid — mowing, string trimming, edging, and the cleanups at either end of the year — the ordinary rhythm that keeps a neighborhood looking looked-after. Michigan hands out about seven months of growing and takes the rest back, so the season gets worked hard while it lasts. A lawn cut on time never gets talked about, and that is the goal. Same streets, same day, week after week.
