Winter dawn on the Seaway Drive side of Norton Shores is all sodium light and blowing snow, and somebody has to be out in it first. West Michigan Ground's Services LLC does the plowing, the walkway clearing and the salting that turn a buried lot into a place people can park by seven. Warm months put the same hands on mowers — cutting, trimming, edging and clearing what the season drops around Little Black Lake and the streets nearby. Ground this close to Lake Michigan changes its mind constantly, and the answer is simply to arrive before it does. Norton Shores, Muskegon and the neighborhoods toward the Grand Haven side share the route.
