North of Gladwin the pavement gives out and the two-tracks take over, running off into jack pine and state forest until the map stops arguing. B&C Trail Services LLC keeps lawns in that country — mowing, trimming and edging where the cut green meets the wild edge of things. Summer mornings here come up in a haze off the low ground, and once the dew burns away a yard can be laid down clean and striped straight. Autumn brings the cleanup: leaves lifted off the grass, beds tidied, the season put away neatly. It is plain, satisfying work, and a Gladwin lawn that looks right in September was looked after all along.
