November in the village of Ortonville is all shoulder season: leaves still coming down on Mill Street while the first flakes test the air above them. MJ Lawn Service works both sides of that turn — mowing, trimming and edging through the green months, fall cleanup and leaf removal when it ends, then plowing, shoveling and salting drives and walks once winter takes hold. Village lots sit small and close together, which means every detail shows. A clean edge along a sidewalk and a drive cleared corner to corner are what people actually notice. Same trucks, same streets, whatever the calendar happens to say.
