On Heritage Hill the houses stand tall and close and the lawns are small, which means every edge is visible from every porch. Guys with Ties Lawn Care takes that as the assignment — mowing, trimming, crisp edging along the old stone walks, and cleanups that pull a winter's worth of maple litter out of the beds. The hill drops steeply toward downtown, so a good share of the day is done on foot rather than from a seat. Grand Rapids built these blocks to be looked at, and a tidy strip of green between the sidewalk and the curb still finishes the picture. That is where the pride lives.
