Grand River Avenue wakes up early in downtown Farmington — brick storefronts still in shadow, the light coming sideways down the street. Buddy's Lawn Services is usually moving before that, mowing while the dew is still on and finishing the walks with a blower so the day begins clean. Through the warm months the route runs on repeat: cut, trim, edge, tidy the beds, keep the corners tight. When December closes in, the truck carries a plow instead, opening drives and clearing entry walks so nobody has to wade out to the car. Same streets, other half of the year, same idea — get there first and leave it better than you found it.
