Late May in Grand Blanc Charter Township means flags out on the porches and grass growing faster than anyone can keep up with. Patriot Lawn and Landscaping L.C. handles that stretch and the ones after it — mowing on a schedule, trimming around posts and fences, edges cut along drives and walks. There is a plainness to good lawn work that suits the township: no fuss, just a property standing straight when you look at it. Landscape beds get weeded and shaped, and when the leaves come down the yard is cleared for winter. The township and its neighbors south of Flint make up the service area.
