September is the kindest month for a lawn in Grand Rapids — cool nights, warm afternoons, and grass that finally wants to grow again after a punishing August. Lawn Tech works the flat, generous yards on the southeast side straight through it, mowing on a steady weekly turn, trimming fence lines, edging the drives, and lifting the first leaves before they mat down. The lots out that way sit open to the sky, which means sun all day and a surface that shows every wobble, so the lines get run straight or not at all. Cleanup closes the year out in November. There is real satisfaction in a lawn that goes into winter clean.
