The Grand River bends past Grandville on its way to the lake, and the valley it cut left the town its flat, generous ground. Grand Valley Lawn Care & Snowplowing works both ends of the calendar there — mowing, trimming and edging while the grass runs, plowing and clearing drives and walks once the lake-effect starts stacking up. An open lot before dawn and a straight-edged lawn in July are really the same job: a place made ready for the people who use it. Cleanups take care of the shoulder weeks in between. Grandville, Wyoming, Jenison and the nearby communities make up the area.
