Manistee Lake holds the light late in August, and the lawns along it stay green well past when you would expect. Caviness Outdoor Services LLC works those lots and the ones back toward Filer City on a steady rotation — mow, trim, edge, blow the clippings off the walk, gone before the afternoon breeze comes up. Lawn care here is a rhythm more than a chore: a week's growth, an hour's attention, a yard that never gets away from you. Spring and fall cleanups bookend the whole thing, hauling off winter's leftovers and then the leaves. The reward is small and daily — an even stripe, a swept drive, a place that looks looked-after.
