Red’s property maintenance

About Red’s property maintenance

The Flint River's north branch runs low and slow through this township, and on a January dawn the bottomland sits under frost while the fields go pink at their edges. Red's property maintenance is already out in that hour, plowing driveways down to the gravel, hand-clearing the walks a blade can never reach, and spreading salt on the steps people use first. When the warm months come the truck trades the blade for a mower deck: weekly cuts, tight trimming, edging along the drive, and the walks blown clear before leaving. The country here is flat and wide, so everything a person does to a yard shows from a quarter mile off. Both halves of the year add up to the same result — no snowbound morning, no shaggy week.
