The lake country of Cheboygan County fills up in July and empties out again by the middle of October, and the lawns that run down toward the water know both halves of that year. Lakeside Lawn Care Cheboygan mows and trims those yards around Nunda Township — the slope toward the dock, the strip along the road, the beds crowding the porch — and handles the cleanups on either side of the season. There is a plain pleasure in pulling up to a place nobody has seen since Labor Day and leaving it looking cared for. Once the cold takes hold the work turns to plowing: drives cleared, walks opened, de-icer on the porch stairs. The water hardens, the road narrows, and the route keeps running.
