Saturday morning in an Oceola Township subdivision has its own soundtrack, and a good share of it is mowers starting up one street after another. Local Lawn & Landscape is in that chorus every week, cutting, trimming and edging yards between Howell and the Hartland line. The work is unglamorous and completely visible: a lawn is the first thing anybody sees, and it either looks tended or it doesn't. Straight passes, tight corners around the mailbox post and the maple, the driveway blown clean before the trailer gate goes up. Small things, repeated all summer, are what make a street look like people love living on it.
