East Paris Avenue wakes early, lots filling while the sun is still working its way above the tree line east of the runways. Gootjes Associates Inc. keeps that same clock, mowing and maintaining grounds through the growing season and then moving snow off those lots and entry walks once the cold takes hold. A well-kept property tells on itself: turf cut even around the curb islands, borders held true, and in January a lot pushed back wide with the walkways salted before the first car pulls in. West Michigan asks for both halves of the work, sometimes in the same week of April. Kentwood keeps its shoulders square, and this is a piece of how.
