By late June the light in Midland runs long and gold well past eight, and every yard in town is at the peak of what it can be. Amplify Landscaping works those evenings and the mornings ahead of them — mowing, edging, cutting back the growth a wet Michigan spring throws up in a single week. A lawn kept on a schedule holds a color you can read from the road, and the stripes stay honest all the way to the sidewalk. When the maples turn and start letting go, the same work comes back around as raking and the last low pass of the year. Midland is a good town to do this in, block by block, week by week.
