August in southwest Michigan bakes the ridges where the vineyards and fruit rows run, and a lawn either gets tended through it or gives up. Outdoor Innovations Landscaping keeps the township's yards on the right side of that — mowing on a rhythm, trimming, sharp edges along beds and walks, mulch refreshed, plantings shaped and cleared. Oronoko Charter Township rolls more than people expect, and a mow that follows the grade instead of fighting it is half the craft. The reward comes at dusk, when the heat lets go and the stripes show up long across the yard. Then it begins again next week, which is the nature of green things.
