Drive US-127 on a June evening and the light lies flat across the fields the whole way up the middle of the state. Lansing Landscaping Co. works the Mount Pleasant end of that corridor with landscaping and lawn care — weekly mowing, close trimming, cut edges, and the heavy cleanups of April and November. Mid-Michigan soil grows turf willingly if it is cut at the right height and never scalped in July heat. The measure of a good route day is the last yard at dusk looking every bit as sharp as the first one did at eight in the morning. Grass, beds and edges are simple ingredients; all the difference lives in the care.
