By September the light in DeWitt Township comes in low and long, and every lawn shows its stripes like corduroy. Thayer's Lawn Care works those weeks carefully — mowing a little higher as the nights cool, trimming the back fence lines where a yard meets a bean field, edging the front walk so the house sits square to the street. Out here plenty of properties still run right up against farmland, and that boundary is worth keeping honest. A clean cut through to the far corner is the kind of small pride that lasts the week. Lawns tended across DeWitt Township and the nearby towns.
