The Grand River is still young when it slips through Jackson, narrow enough to lose track of behind the buildings before it turns north for the big lake. Total Landscaping, Inc looks after properties along that stretch and out into the townships: mowing and trimming on schedule, beds shaped and mulched, edges cut so a lawn ends in a line instead of a smudge. Leaf season is a campaign all its own, run until the turf is bare and breathing again. When the river runs black between white banks the plows go out, and drives and walks are opened early. Whole-property care, all twelve months of it.
