Grand River Avenue has been carrying traffic through this corner of Oakland County since it was a plank road, and it still shows the year turning over: mud, then green, then gold, then white. C & G 4 Season Maintenance Inc. works the entire circle — mowing, trimming and cleanups while the grass is running hard, then plowing, shoveling and de-icing once the ground goes to iron. There is a rhythm to it that only shows up over twelve months, and each half of the year sets up the other. A lawn cut clean all summer is a lawn that comes back well; a drive salted right in January is a drive that thaws without a sheet of glass on it. The pleasure is in handing a property back looking cared for, whatever month it happens to be.
