Emmett sits on the headwater country of the Belle River in western St. Clair County, where the fields run on and a winter wind can refill a driveway before the coffee is finished. MAAS LAWN SERVICE runs both halves of the year here — plowing and shoveling through the dark months, mowing and trimming once the fields go green. Farm-country drives are long, and the difference between plowed and plowed well is whether the turnaround is still usable come March. In summer those same properties want a clean cut and close trim around the barn, the posts, and the row of pines somebody planted as a windbreak two generations back. Steady, plain work, done on schedule, in a township that asks for both.
