October turns the maples over Hastings all at once, and for three weeks the yards are prettier than anyone can keep up with. Rowley Lawn Care works into that gorgeous mess — mowing while the grass still grows, gathering the leaves off the turf before they mat down, clearing the curb line back to bare pavement. Earlier in the year it is the ordinary rhythm instead: cut, trim, edge, move on, week after week, so a lawn never gets away from its owner. The reward is a property that looks composed in every month, not only in June. Hastings is the center of the work, with Middleville, Freeport and Woodland nearby.
