A January dawn over the Inland Waterway stays blue for a long while before it becomes anything else, and by the time it turns, the drives are already open. Fettig's Landscaping Inc. plows, shovels and salts through those early hours around Petoskey, then trades the blade for a mower deck when the frost finally lets go. Summer means mowing, trimming, edging and landscape upkeep; autumn means the long leaf haul; spring means undoing whatever the plow and the thaw left behind along the edges. Grass, gravel and snow all live on the same square of ground, and much of this trade is keeping them from arguing. Work a property all year and every pass gets easier than the one before.
