July in Clare County is hardwood shade, sandy soil and long humming afternoons, and the grass around Lake grows in bursts between the dry spells. Hoberek's Lawn Care & Snow keeps pace with it — mowing at a height the ground can actually carry through the heat, trimming around the pines and the posts, cleaning up afterward so the yard reads as finished rather than merely cut. In spring the same properties get raked out from under a winter's worth of needles and leaves; in fall they get cleared again before the cold sets in. It is straightforward work, and it looks like something when it is done right. Lake, Farwell, Clare, Lake George and the nearby Clare County communities are on the round.
