The southwest side, around Roosevelt Park and up Grandville Avenue, is close-built and full of small proud yards wedged between the sidewalk and the porch. G&A landscaping LLC works those blocks with a light hand — mowing on a set schedule, trimming the strip along the fence, edging where turf spills onto old concrete. Late summer is when it counts most, the grass tired and the weeds ambitious, and one tidy front yard tells the whole street something. Beds get cleaned up, the cuttings get carried off, and nothing is left half finished. Grand Rapids is a city of small lots, and small lots repay attention.
