Buck Creek runs low and quiet through the flats below Grandville, and the land out there sits open enough that the wind gets a vote in everything. MJR Landscape works it in both directions: mowing, string trimming and edging while the grass is running, cleanups at the shoulders of the year, and plowing, hand-shoveling and salt once the drifts begin crossing the driveways. Snow on an open lot refuses to stay where you put it, so the piles go downwind and the route is checked twice before anyone calls it done. In July that same exposure means sun from six in the morning until nine at night and grass that grows like it's on the clock. Either season, the aim is a property that plainly looks handled.
