Muskegon grew up between a big lake and a small one, with sand under everything and a breeze off the water most afternoons. Forever Lawn Services Inc mows and trims across the city and out through the neighborhoods around Muskegon Lake — corner lots on the old brick streets, deeper yards toward the dunes, the strips of green between sidewalk and curb that make a block look cared for. Sandy soil drains fast and burns quick in August, so the cut goes high and the beds stay clear to hold what moisture there is. April pulls the winter grit and matted leaves out from the fence lines; November arrives when the maples let go all at once. On a clear evening the light comes in low off Lake Michigan, and a freshly cut lawn takes it beautifully.
