Sturgeon Valley Road leaves Indian River heading east and climbs into hardwood country, where the cottages sit well back from the pavement and the grass comes on fast after a June rain. Cottage lawns keep an odd schedule — untouched for three weeks, then needing to look right by Friday afternoon — and the answer is a dependable cut, a defined edge, and trimming around every deck post and propane tank. Spring cleanup pulls off the winter's litter of branches and needles; fall cleanup clears the leaves before the woods take the yard back. There is something plainly good about pulling up to a place that has been closed all winter and finding it neat, open and green. Lawn care for Indian River, Wolverine and the lakes in between.
