By mid-May the trees around Bronson Park have filled in overhead, and every lawn downtown is trying to grow two inches a week. Butler Lawn & Landscape meets that surge the plain way: mowing on schedule, trimming around fence lines and light poles, edging along the walks, blowing the cuttings back into the yard. Kalamazoo soil is generous, and a lawn kept on rhythm through a wet spring will still look like something in the dry stretch of August. There is real pride in the moment a shaggy, crooked strip of grass turns into straight lines and a hard edge. Small work, plainly done, and the whole block reads better for it.
