The Red Cedar River begins in this township, in low lake ground and marsh, and everything about a lawn in Iosco starts with that same water table. I.M. Hardwoods LLC mows through fog-heavy mornings and long humid afternoons, keeping yards cut close between the oak woodlots and the hay ground. Trimming here is a matter of edges — where mowed grass meets fencerow, gravel, or the shade line under a big tree — and those edges are what make a yard look finished instead of merely shortened. Spring cleanup pulls a winter's worth of sticks and matted leaves off the turf so it can come back evenly. It is unhurried country, and the work suits it.
