A well-mown lawn holds its stripes the way an outfield does, light one way and dark the other depending on where you stand to look at it. MVP Lawncare puts that pattern on yards around Hudsonville all summer long: mowing on a set rotation, trimming the fence lines and the posts, edging the drive, clearing the beds out in spring and again when the leaves come down. July here runs hot and flat, thunderheads stacking up over the open ground in the late afternoon, and the crews are usually finished before the sky is. It is ordinary work done deliberately, and what it makes is the kind of yard kids get turned loose on after supper. By September the growth slows and the cuts stretch further apart, but the lines stay every bit as straight.
