The town's name comes from the French for stone, which is a fair description of the ground in certain seasons. Lapeer Lawn Care carries both the name and the territory, handling mowing, trimming and edging from spring through the last warm week, then plowing and shoveling once the ice sets on Lake Nepessing. Out at the lake the wind comes straight across and the lawns run right down to the water; in town they are tighter, shadier and cut on a different rhythm. The satisfaction is in knowing a place well enough to know what a yard needs before the trailer gate ever drops. One town, worked thoroughly.
