An edge is a promise you can see from the road. Cuttin It Close Outdoor works Kalkaska township with that in mind, mowing to a straight line, trimming tight around posts and stone, and edging the walk until the seam between lawn and concrete is one dark, crisp stripe. August light comes in low and long out past the Rapid River bends, and it finds every place a blade hurried. Grass in this sandy country grows in bursts after rain, so the schedule bends to the weather instead of the calendar. Pull in at dusk, look back down the drive, and the yard should look finished rather than merely cut.
