Lansing is a city stitched across three counties, and the seams show best at the edges of town, where the last block of houses gives way to open field. All Terra Landscape Services LLC works that whole spread — mowing and trimming through the long green months, then plowing and salting once the wind swings around to the northwest. There is a particular satisfaction in a lawn cut down to one clean plane at dusk, the stripes running true to the curb. In January the same care shows up as a driveway opened before the first commute, the gravel edge respected, the walk shoveled all the way to the door. Different tools, same instinct: leave the ground better than you found it.
