Marlette measures its year in crops — wheat gold in July, beans and beets coming off in the fall, then the long white stretch when the fields go quiet. Lamarsh Contracting LLC works both ends of that calendar, mowing and trimming lawns through the growing season and plowing once the county roads start blowing shut. Village yards here sit on generous lots, so a cut is a real cut, and the edges along walks and drives are what make it look finished. In winter the job flips to pavement, driveways and approaches pushed clear so nobody has to shovel a path out to the mailbox. It is straightforward work for the towns of the Thumb, and it is the kind people notice the morning it gets done.
