Marne sits close enough to the big lake that winter arrives in bands — clear sky, then a wall of white coming east across the fields, then clear sky again. Evergreen Lawn Care & Snowplowing, Inc. plows through that pattern, opening driveways between the squalls so a day never gets stranded at home. The warm half of the year is mowing and trimming, holding Ottawa County lawns even and their edges sharp while the grass runs hard through June. Both jobs come down to the same thing: getting to the property before it becomes a problem. Marne and the towns strung along I-96 are the ground it covers.
