By June the cherry blossom has gone to fruit on the hills above the bay, and the water turns that particular blue that makes everyone up here forget February. Blue Bear Landscaping LLC spends the season keeping lawns cut, trimmed and edged in the sandy ground of East Bay township, where grass wants water and attention in about equal measure. The payoff is a yard that holds its line right up to the driveway and the bed edges, with the clippings blown off the walk. Northern Michigan summers run short, so every week of them counts for something. Around the east arm, a kept lawn is part of how the whole season looks.
