Oscoda sits on the sunrise side of the state, and the light comes in off Lake Huron early and flat across the yards near the shore. Covenant Cuts Lawn Care starts its day in that light with mowing, trimming, edging and the cleanups a sandy shoreline township asks for twice a year. Lawns out here contend with sand, wind and the burnished look a steady lake breeze leaves behind, so an even, unhurried cut is worth the extra pass. By the time the traffic is moving on US-23, the mower is already three properties along the road. A trimmed border and a swept walk, at a cottage or a year-round home, tells anyone driving by that somebody is tending the place.
