By the first week of July the cottage lanes at Bay View are all porch shade and painted railings, and the lawns beneath them are held to a summer standard. All Season Maintenance takes that on around Petoskey in the plain way: mowing on a steady rotation, string trimming along fence lines and foundations, edges cut so a walk has a border you can see from the road. Spring begins with raking out whatever the thaw uncovers; fall ends with leaves lifted off the turf before they mat down and smother it. Grass this far north gets a short run at the year, and it deserves to be used well. A yard that looks effortless in August was thought about back in April.
