Away from the water, Morton Township turns sandy and piney, with oak scrub along the two-tracks and yards carved out one at a time. Mid Mitt Lawn Care mows this part of Mecosta County — the ordinary weekly cut, string trimming where the mower cannot reach, edging where a lawn meets gravel and wants to blur. August can dry a sand lawn to straw in ten days, so the deck goes up and the cut comes off tall, and the green holds longer for it. Come October there are leaf cleanups and a final low pass to set things right before the freeze. It is unglamorous work, and there is a genuine pleasure in driving past a yard from yesterday and finding it still standing sharp.
