Late November in East Lansing is a hinge: the last leaves come off Coolidge Road one week and the first plowable inch lands the next. First Choice Lawn & Snow LLC works both sides of it — mowing and cleanups right up until the ground goes hard, then out with the blade for driveways, lots and walkways once winter takes the town. Snow here doesn't arrive politely; it rides in on an overnight clipper and has to be off the pavement before the morning commute. By April the same properties get the winter swept out of them, beds cleared and turf opened up for a first cut. One outfit across the whole year means nobody has to explain their property twice.
