November in Grand Blanc is a handoff — the last oak leaves come down on Monday and the first flurries test the pavement by Friday. Green Glove Landscaping works both sides of that changeover, mowing and tending lawns through the green months and clearing snow once the town goes white. There is a particular morning each year when the mower comes off the trailer for the last time and the blade goes on, and everyone feels the calendar turn. Township drives, cul-de-sacs and long rural approaches each ask for a different line, and learning them is the craft. Grand Blanc keeps going in every weather, and so does the work.
