After an April rain the low ground in Georgetown Charter Township smells like thawed earth, and the grass wakes up all at once. Cedar Creek Lawn Care LLC starts the year right there — raking out the winter's matted thatch, clearing the sticks the wind brought down, opening the beds back up before the first real cut. From then on the mowing runs on a steady rotation through the warm months, with trimming and edging to sharpen the lines. Come autumn the route runs the other direction: leaves off the lawn and off the walks until the yard is bare and ready for cold. Creek-bottom shade and open sun get different attention, because they're different lawns.
