The old rail grade runs straight through Jerome Township, and in late May the sand-and-pine ground alongside it greens up nearly overnight. J & D Yard Solutions covers that stretch of Midland County with mowing, string trimming, edging and yard cleanups on a steady rotation. Sandy soil goes thin through the dry weeks and then rockets after a rain, which means reading each yard and cutting to what it actually needs that day. A clean edge along a walk or a drive does more for a property than almost anything else an hour can buy. When fall arrives the leaves get gathered up and the season closes out neat.
