Grayling grows on sand and jack pine, with the AuSable running cold and clear through the middle of it, and grass that takes real coaxing to hold its color. A+ Lawn Care, LLC works with what the ground gives — mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups from the late northern spring through the first hard frost. Winter here is long and serious, so the season turns to plowing drives and lots, cutting walkways clear and putting down salt where ice builds up. Snow arrives before Thanksgiving some years and lingers into April, and the work simply stays with it. A cleared drive on a twelve-degree morning is a small kindness, and it is the part of the job worth doing exactly right.
