Livonia was orchard and hayfield before it was subdivision, and Greenmead still keeps a few barns standing to prove it, a stone's throw from streets of postwar ranches. MP Landscape Designs LLC works in that seam of old ground and new lots — mowing and trimming through the growing months, shaping beds, laying mulch, and hauling off the spring and fall cleanups. Late September here has a particular gold to it, low sun running straight down the section-line roads, and that is when the year's last shaping matters most. Then the ground hardens and the work turns to plowing drives, clearing walks and putting down salt before the freeze locks things in. Same properties, same eye for a clean edge, whether the edge is against a bed or against a curb buried in white.
