April in Ferndale gets loud with mowers again — the ground firms up, the grass wakes all at once, and the first cut of the year resets a whole street. Ironwood Outdoor Services LLC starts the season right there and stays with it: weekly mowing, trimming along fences and foundations, edging where the turf runs out at the sidewalk. Houses here stand shoulder to shoulder, so one tidy lawn tends to lift the ones on either side of it. The measure of a finished job is simple — even height, sharp borders, nothing left behind on the concrete. Ferndale, and the near towns of Oak Park, Berkley, Pleasant Ridge and Royal Oak.
