The charter township spreads out behind the village in sandy ground and old orchard country, oaks along the fence lines and roads that run straight until the water bends them. Rain off the lake blows through quick and warm in July, and the turf answers within a day. Penguin Lawn Care and Home Repair LLC handles the lawn care out here — mowing, trimming and edging, cleanups in spring and again through the leaf fall. Sandy soil cuts clean and shows a line well, which makes the finish worth taking time over. A yard done right in this township looks bright even under a gray west-Michigan sky.
