September along Stadium Drive, with the hill above campus full of cars and boxes and everyone arriving at once, the grass is still growing while the calendar has already turned. Kalamazoo Premier Services works straight through that turn — mowing, trimming and edging while the days hold, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the drives begin filling in. Properties near the university keep long hours, and the ground underneath them has to be walkable at every one of them. There's pride in a lot that's clean at seven in the morning and a lawn that's sharp at seven at night. Kalamazoo weather makes you earn both of those.
