The Clinton River begins in the wetlands of Independence Township, more marsh than river at the start, and the whole area keeps that green-on-green look deep into August. RAL Lawn & Shrub care works with it rather than against it — mowing and trimming on a schedule, edges kept crisp, shrubs and beds tidied, cleanups in spring and again in fall. A hedge shaped well disappears into the yard; you only notice it once it has been left alone too long. Steady attention is the entire trick.
