October is the loud month up here. The hardwood on the ridges around Hayes Township turns all at once, and a week later most of it is on the ground and in the yards. Michigan Landscape treats that as part of lawn care rather than an afterthought: the last cuts taken a little lower, leaves gathered off the turf before they mat down under the first wet snow, corners and bed edges cleared out by hand. A lawn that goes into winter clean comes out of it far better in April, and that is the whole reason for the extra pass. Grass work from the first green week to the final cleanup, across Hayes Township and the roads around it.
