South of the city the ground begins to lift, long low rises rolling off toward Grand Blanc, and a lawn cut across that grade shows every line you put into it. Poes Precision Outdoor Solutions likes that — mowing in straight passes, trimming tight to the posts, edging the walk until the border is a drawn line rather than a suggestion. Winter asks for the same geometry in reverse: plowing to square corners, shoveling paths wide enough to actually use, stacking the piles where they will not block the view at the end of the drive. Straight lines are not fussiness here; they are what a place looks like when somebody was paying attention. Half the work lives in the last ten feet.
