By late September the slips at the marina on the Menominee waterfront begin to empty, and the grass along the bay takes on the deep tired green it gets after a whole summer of growing. That's the turning point of the year here: the last few mowings, the maples letting go, then the long wait for the water to freeze. Godfrey Lawn Care and Snow Removal LLC works the entire arc of it, mowing and trimming through the warm months, edging the walks clean, hauling off the autumn leaves, then plowing drives and opening walkways once the bay wind changes its mind. A property tended all the way around has a look to it, an unfussy neatness a neighbor notices without quite knowing why. That look is the whole point of the job.
