By October the wind comes hard around Lighthouse Point and strips the maples along the Leelanau State Park road in a single week. S&J Landscaping, Inc. meets that with cleanup work — leaves cleared, beds cut back, the last mowings taken low before the ground hardens. Through summer it is a steadier rhythm: mowing, trimming and edging on bluff lots and orchard lanes where almost nothing sits level. Getting a yard clean on sloped ground takes more walking than driving, and the finish shows it. Northport and the roads of northern Leelanau County are the working ground.
