Windmill Pointe holds the corner where Lake St. Clair bends toward the river, and the streets of Grosse Pointe Park run back from it in tight leafy rows toward Jefferson. Lawns here are small and closely watched, which makes the edge along the walk the whole game — POINTE HILL'S LANDSCAPING LLC cuts it clean, sweeps the concrete after, and leaves the sidewalk fit for a stroller by mid-morning. Near Patterson Park the grass grows fast on lake air and August thunderstorms, so the mowing keeps a steady cadence rather than chasing it. When the wind turns and the storms come across the water as snow, the same crew is out plowing the drives, clearing the walks and salting the steps. Cut short and squared in summer, opened and salted in winter: the block looks tended either way.
