In the Vine neighborhood the houses stand close and the front lawns are small enough to know by heart — a strip beside the porch steps, a green square behind the hedge, a boulevard tree older than anyone on the block. All Green Lawn Care tends exactly that kind of ground: mowing on a steady week, string trimming around fence posts and hydrants, edging the walk until concrete reads as concrete again. June in Kalamazoo grows grass faster than anybody expects, and the answer is to keep showing up. Afterward the clippings get blown off the sidewalk, the gate gets latched, and the yard looks like someone loves it. Which, by then, someone does.
