Between the Kawkawlin River and the Pinconning flats, Linwood keeps a bay-shore kind of summer — long light, gulls pushed inland after a blow, grass that takes off the moment the ground warms. Turks Lawn & Landscaping LLC is out in it, mowing, trimming and edging yards from the village out along the shore road. Flat, sandy Bay County ground grows a lawn unevenly, so feeding and weed control do as much for the look as the mower does. Each spring the yard gets pulled back into shape after the freeze and thaw; each fall the leaves come off in one clean sweep. What is left is a lawn with a defined edge and an even color, the kind of thing people notice without knowing why.
