October comes down hard in the woodlots of Oronoko Charter Township — oak and hickory letting go all at once, every lawn beneath them buried by Tuesday. JJ Wood And Lawn Care meets that head-on with mowing, trimming, leaf cleanup and hauling the piles away so the turf can breathe before the ground locks up. Spring runs the other direction: the first cut of the year, winter debris cleared off, edges reopened along the drive. Between the two ends sit the ordinary weeks of steady mowing, when the grass simply wants keeping. It is unglamorous work, and a raked yard on a bright cold afternoon is one of the better sights in Berrien County.
