Late August in East Bay township smells like warm pine needles and lake water, and the two-tracks running out toward the inland lakes are all dust by afternoon. Dig North Services keeps the lawns around them mowed, trimmed and edged — cottage yards, year-round places, the ones where grass runs right down toward the water. Sandy soil and a lot of shade make for uneven growth, so the cutting has to read a yard rather than just cross it. A finished lawn out here looks like somebody has been paying attention: neat borders, clean walks, nothing left scattered on the drive. Between Arbutus and the bay, that's the season's work.
