A county line runs straight through Milan, Washtenaw on one side and Monroe on the other, though the snow has never once respected it. Budd's Lawncare, LLC is out on both halves when a storm clears, plowing driveways down to the pavement and opening the walks so the mail can get through. Warm months bring the other rotation: mowing, trimming, edging, and the cleanups that bookend the growing season. Milan yards are wide and flat and honest, which means a crooked cut shows from the street — so the lines get laid down straight. Two seasons, one standard, the same neighbors on the list either way.
