When the water runs loud at Stepping Stone Falls and Mott Lake finally loses its ice, the growing season in Genesee County has begun. Holland Lawn Care starts the Flint mowing year right about then, with first cuts, trimming along the fence lines, and the first sharp edge cut back into the sidewalk. Through summer the lawns are kept on a steady rotation, borders held, the drive left swept after every visit. Cleanups bookend the year, clearing the yard in spring and again once the leaves let go. A lawn tended that way never has a rough month; it simply keeps looking like someone is paying attention.
