There are corners of East Lansing where the woods never really left — lots carved out among big hardwoods, lawns that get an hour of full sun and make the most of it. Timber Landscaping and Maintenance works those properties, mowing around root flares and low limbs, trimming the ragged line where lawn meets underbrush, keeping beds defined against ground that would happily take them back. Spring cleanup out here is close to an excavation: a winter's worth of sticks, bark and matted leaves lifted off the turf before anything can green. Summer cutting stays on the light side, because shade grass never forgives a scalping. The result is a yard that reads as part of the woods instead of a quarrel with them.
