West of here the ground turns to sand and pine within a few miles of the shore, and lawns out that way live or die by how they get handled. West Ottawa Lawn Service takes on the cutting, the trimming and the edge work across Holland Charter Township and the roads running toward West Olive and Port Sheldon. Spring cleanups lead the year — winter debris pulled off the turf, everything opened up so the sun can reach the crowns. Then the weekly mowing begins, and by the end of May the yards have their color back for good. It is straightforward work with a straightforward payoff: a lawn that looks like it belongs to someone who cares.
