East of the township line the road runs toward Grass Lake between hedgerows that catch blowing snow and stack it in long white ridges across the shoulder. Laughlin & Sons Lawn & Landscape, LLC works that stretch in February — plowing driveways back out to their full width, clearing walks, spreading salt where the afternoon melt refreezes at dusk. Through the growing months it turns to mowing, trimming and edging, with cleanups in spring and autumn to reset the yard. The pleasure of it lives in the finish: a drive with square corners, a lawn with a crisp border. Weather in this county changes its mind often, and the work simply keeps pace with it.
