Spring mornings the fog comes up off the channel and sits in the low yards of Marine City until the sun burns it back, and underneath it the grass is already going. Multi-Stage Lawn Care LLC starts the route about then — first cuts of the year, trimming back what winter left ragged, running the edger along walks and drives until the lines are sharp again. From there it is week after week of mowing through the deep part of summer, upkeep that never announces itself but is obvious the moment it stops. A lawn held at an even height, with tight margins and no stray growth at the fence, simply reads as a place somebody is looking after. Marine City and the nearby townships are the ground this covers.
