Late August around Whitmore Lake goes hazy and slow, the grass browning on the high sandy spots and staying thick down in the hollows. Property Bros Lawn Service reads a lawn that way, cutting to height rather than to habit, trimming the corners and edging the drive so the shape stays sharp. Weekly mowing carries the middle of the year; cleanups carry both ends of it. When the maples turn along the back roads of Green Oak Township, the leaf work begins and does not let up for a month. A yard mowed and cleared right out to its borders reads as finished, and that is what the day leaves behind.
