Southwest Detroit sits close to the water, and the wind coming off the river finds it first in November and lets go of it last in April. Diaz Quality Landscaping LLC works the whole swing — mowing, edging and trimming through the growing months, plowing and shoveling drives and walks once the cold has settled over the neighborhood. Yards down here sit close together and get used hard: a tidy strip of grass, a walk that has to stay passable, a corner lot that catches every drift. Attention is what small ground needs, and that is what it gets in either season. Come the first real thaw the trimmers come back out and the year starts over.
