September wind comes across the water and works its way inland, and the yards nearest the shore carry a little sand in the turf. N.E.W. Yard Services LLC handles lawn care through Menominee Township — mowing, trimming, edging, and the seasonal cleanups a bay-side property wants before the weather turns serious. Grass on light, sandy ground has its own habits, and cutting it well means knowing when to leave it a shade longer. There is something clean about a shoreline yard in early fall: gulls up, water bright, lawn even right out to the last edge. The season is winding down, and the yard ought to look like it knew that first.
