Summer in Pellston is short and bright, and the light in late June hangs on past ten o'clock over the maples and jack pine. DJF Landscaping works inside that window — mowing and trimming on a weekly turn, edging drives and walks, mulch in the beds, a cleanup as soon as the frost leaves and another before the north country closes up again. Grass here has only a few months to be green, so it gets cut like it counts. A clean lawn against the dark woods of Emmet County reads sharper than anywhere downstate. When the cool comes back off the Maple River at night, the day's work is already standing.
