West of the city the Grand River is still a small thing, a creek you could step across before it gathers itself and heads north through downtown Jackson. The farm country out that way keeps its lawns broad and its edges honest, and Bonner Lawn Care mows to match — long clean passes, corners taken square, the trimmer run out to where the mowed grass meets the field. March comes in muddy here and the first cut of the year always feels like a door opening. From then until the maples let go, it is steady mowing and tidying, the sort of upkeep that makes a house look occupied and settled from the road. That result is the whole point of the job.
