Up on West Main hill the Westwood streets curve instead of grid, and in April that whole rise greens up a week ahead of the valley below. Westwood Lawn Service starts its year right there — first mowings, edges reopened, winter's grit swept off the walks. There is a moment on that first pass when a lawn stops looking like it merely survived something and starts looking cared for. The same routes carry all the way around the calendar, the mower deck traded for a plow blade when Kalamazoo's snow shows up. Lawn care and snow removal on the west side and beyond.
