Dutton still keeps the shape of a rail stop — track running through, the old crossroads, subdivisions grown up around it like a field filling in. On a June morning in Gaines Township the dew burns off by eight and the day opens wide and green. Besaw's Lawn Care LLC is moving by then, mowing the long lots off the section roads, trimming around mailboxes and light poles, edging drives back to a firm line. The ground here is sandier than it looks and drains fast, which rewards a taller cut and a sharp blade. Small decisions, made the same way every week, are what separate a lawn that thrives from one that just gets cut.
