In this corner of Bay County the land runs flat and open, so you can watch a rain squall cross the fields for twenty minutes before it ever reaches you. Adams Express Lawncare works that wide country — mowing, trimming and edging yards that sit between farm sections and the wind coming off Saginaw Bay. There is a satisfaction in the straight line here that hillier places never give you: the cut runs true all the way to the ditch, and the whole yard reads as one clean sheet. Spring and fall bring the cleanups, when last year's stalks and blown leaves get gathered up and the ground is handed back bare and ready. It is ordinary work, done properly, on land that hides nothing.
