Front Street wakes slowly in Dowagiac — brick storefronts catching the first flat light, awnings still damp. ClassyGrass LLC works the blocks just behind it, where the mowers go down and back in stripes that hold all week. There is real satisfaction in an edge cut clean along a sidewalk, the line so straight it looks drawn. Summer comes in warm and green off the Cass County fields, and the lawns answer with growth that needs a steady hand: mowing, trimming, blowing the clippings back off the walk. By the time the afternoon heat settles over the roofs, the yard is finished and quiet.
