There is a little sport in mowing — a straight pass, a clean turn, stripes laid across a lawn the way they run over a ball diamond in June. Turf Jockeys LLC rides that out across Eaton Rapids with weekly cutting, trimming around posts and tree trunks, edging at the drives, and cleanups at both ends of the growing season. Mid-Michigan turf can slide from lush to stressed inside one hot week, so cutting height and timing do most of the actual work. The finish is the fun part: the last pass along the road, everything blown clean, a yard that looks like it wants its picture taken. Then on to the next one.
