A yard has lines in it before anyone cuts them — the curve a bed wants, the place the turf ought to stop. Mitchell Outdoor & Design reads them out of the ground and then keeps them, mowing and trimming and edging so the shapes stay legible from the sidewalk in Dowagiac. Midsummer is when it all reads best: deep green, hard edges, the geometry holding through the heat. Winter asks the same question in a different language, and the answer is plowed lots and shoveled walks with corners as square as those beds were. Snow or grass, the pleasure is identical — a property that looks intended.
