The first mow of the year in Hanover Township always arrives sooner than anyone plans for — one warm week in April, the frost finally out of the ground, and suddenly everything is three inches tall. Jett's Lawn Care meets that first push and then holds the pace all season with steady mowing, trimming and cleanup work. There is a particular pleasure in the year's opening cut: the smell of it, a yard going from shaggy to sharp in a single afternoon. From there it is every week, rain or shine, straight through the long green middle of a Michigan summer. In November the final pass is a leaf pass, and the season closes out clean.
