September along Black Creek is the kindest stretch of the Muskegon year — heavy dew at seven, grass still growing, the hard heat finally out of the afternoon. Freds Lawncare LLC works those months and the ones before them: mowing on schedule, trimming close, edging the walks, and cleaning up at either end of the season. Grass grown on the flat ground east of town comes on strong after a rain and needs a steady hand to keep it even. A yard cut on time in early fall looks better than it does all summer, and that is worth showing up for. Muskegon and the towns nearby fill the route from spring through the last mow.
