Morning arrives in Hastings off the Thornapple, fog lying low in the river bend until the sun burns it back to shine. B&L Outdoor Services, LLC does its lawn work in that early hour, when the grass is still cool and the day hasn't decided how hot it intends to get. Mowing, trimming and edging happen in the order a yard asks for them, so the passes run parallel and the border along the walk comes up clean. There is a plain satisfaction in stepping back at the end of a property and seeing a lawn that looks tended rather than merely shortened. The work carries through Hastings and out toward Middleville, Freeport and Woodland, one yard at a time.
