Decatur township is laid out in squares — section roads running straight at the horizon, blueberry fields and pasture between them, farmhouse yards set back behind a row of shade trees. Hawkeye Property Services handles the mowing out here, with trimming around posts, tanks and outbuildings, edging along the drives, and blowing the walks clear once the cut is finished. Big properties reward a plan: pass after pass, the same direction each week, the whole thing even from the road. Heat sits heavy in July, so the work starts early to get out ahead of it. The route covers Decatur township and the neighboring Van Buren County communities.
