There is a blue hour in an Otsego winter, before sunrise, when the low ground toward Plainwell holds more light than the sky does — that is when the trucks are already out. R&A Landscaping plows and shovels through it, salts the walks, and then spends the green months putting yards back together: beds shaped and planted, mulch or stone set down, grass cut on a rhythm nobody has to think about. Yards in this town run from tight village lots to open ground at the edge of the bottomland, and each one gets read before it gets touched. The reward is a place that looks composed in January and in June alike. Otsego and the towns down the valley are on the list.
