West of Dexter the subdivisions give out and it's hayfield and cornrow all the way toward Chelsea, wide open in a way that decides the weather. In July that means heat sitting on the grass by ten in the morning, so Seyfrieds Lawn Care Solutions LLC cuts early — mowing, trimming and edging on a route that beats the worst of the day. Cleanups take care of what the wind carries in off the fields, which out there is plenty, at the start of the season and again at its close. In January the same openness lets snow drift across a driveway three separate times in one night, and plowing, shoveling and salt are the answer, repeated for as long as it takes. Wide country asks for that kind of stubbornness, and there's satisfaction in giving it.
