Spring reaches the lakeshore late — the bayous open well before the big lake gives up its ice, and only then do the lawns around Grand Haven really start. Bill Brolick Landscaping & Irrigation, Inc. carries properties through the whole turning: mowing and landscape upkeep in the warm months, snow removal once the lake-effect bands begin coming ashore. Between those seasons is the long grey stretch when the beach grass lies flat and the town belongs again to the people who live in it. The measure of the work is simple — a lawn that looks looked-after, a drive that is open when it snowed all night. That is the standard this shore asks for.
