Some mornings in May the mist sits on Thompson Lake until nearly nine, and the grass in the yards above the shoreline is heavy enough to keep a footprint. That is when the season truly opens for Scott's Green Grass Inc. — first cuts of the year across Howell, along with the spring cleanup that clears winter's litter out of the beds and off the turf. From there it becomes a weekly rhythm right through to the leaf-heavy end of October, each visit leaving a lawn a little more like itself. The pride in it is plain: even lines, a clean break where turf meets pavement, nothing tracked across the walk on the way out. Lawn care for homes and businesses in Howell and the towns around it.
