Summer arrives in this city as a green you can smell — cut grass drifting off the mile roads, sprinklers ticking through the subdivisions west of Farmington Road. Barranco Outdoor Services works those yards straight through the growing season, mowing on a steady rhythm, trimming close to fences and foundations, edging the walks and carrying off what the day loosens. Half of Farmington Hills lives under old oaks, and keeping turf even beneath that canopy asks for patience more than speed. The payoff shows up in late-day sun: a lawn sitting level, borders sharp where grass meets drive, nothing shaggy at the corners. It is a small thing, and it changes the whole feel of a house.
