Petoskey sits on a bluff that steps down to Little Traverse Bay, and by noon in July the water goes flat and silver behind the sugar maples. Northern Signature Lawnscape works those terraced yards — mowing, trimming, edging, and the spring and fall cleanups that bracket a northern Michigan growing season. A signature is a line made the same way every time, and that is what an edge along a walk should be: crisp, unwavering, obviously chosen. A lawn gets finished here and it reads clean from the street and cleaner from the porch. Green holds a short season this far north, and it deserves to be kept well while it lasts.
