Otsego Lake lies just south of Gaylord — blue and busy in August, locked and quiet under a foot of ice by January — and the properties around it need two entirely different kinds of care. Benefiel Lawn Care & Services LLC keeps both: mowing and trimming the lake lots and the in-town yards through the green months, then plowing those same driveways when the wind comes off the water and lays snow across them in long ropes. Spring cleanups pull the sand and winter grit out of the yard; autumn cleanups take the maple leaves off before the first wet snow flattens them into the turf. It is steady work, done on the same roads twice a year in opposite weather. The result is a place that looks tended in July and stays reachable in February.
