High summer in Hayes Township means deer tracks pressed into the soft edge where the mown yard meets the treeline, and grass that puts on an inch after every warm rain. Todd's Lawn Care runs the back lots as attentively as the front ones — the strip behind the garage, the slope down to the brush line, the patch nobody sees from the road but everybody notices when it is missed. Cutting height rises through the dry stretch of August so the turf keeps its color, then drops again when the nights cool. Walks and drives get blown off before the truck pulls out, every time. It is unglamorous and it adds up to a place that looks looked-after.
