Dexter sits on old moraine, ground the ice left in long low ridges, and anyone who works it learns fast that water and snow both go where the grade tells them. Platinum Landworks Llc reads that pitch on every property — mowing, trimming and edging through the growing season, mulch and cleanups when the beds need resetting. In winter the same reading decides where the plow stacks snow, so a March thaw drains off instead of glazing the drive overnight. Shovel and salt work finishes it, walks cleared corner to corner rather than a path down the middle. The freeze-thaw is Michigan's oldest trick, and there's real pleasure in having already answered it.
