November on this shoreline arrives as a gale — the lake goes gray and loud, the last leaves come off in a single night, and the first squall usually follows inside a week. Royle Exterior LLC is ready on both sides of that date: final mows and fall cleanups before it, plowing, walkway clearing and ice control after. Winter here does not come as one storm but as a hundred, and drives across Grand Haven Charter Township need opening again and again between then and April. Then the melt, the greening, and a full summer of mowing, trimming and edging on the very same properties. Exterior work is the outside of a home kept looking tended, whatever the sky happens to be doing.
