By mid-June the yards sloping down toward Crooked Lake are all green and glare — water at the bottom, oaks along the ridge, and between them a lawn that has to be cut on a grade and look easy about it. Custom Lawnscaping LLC lives on that kind of ground: mowing and trimming through the season, edging where turf meets drive, mulch laid dark around the beds, shrubs shaped, cleanups when spring opens and again when fall closes. There is a real satisfaction in the last pass of the day — the mower shut off, the yard suddenly quiet and squared away, the light still sitting on the water. Every property in Genoa Township leans a little differently against its hill. Much of the work is reading what each one needs before the first pass.
