On a September evening the hills west of Mesick go gold at the edges, the hayfields flattening into shadow while the sandy two-tracks still hold the day's heat. That is Northscape Services LLC's hour — mowing finished, trimmer quiet, a lawn laid down in clean stripes with the low light running across them. Winter asks an entirely different question up in this part of Wexford County, and the answer is a plow blade on the gravel and a shovel on the walk, driveways opened while the wind is still moving snow around. Either season, the pleasure is the same one: a place that looks cared for from the road. Lawn care and snow removal across Mesick, Manton, Buckley and the roads between.
