First light in Pickford comes early in June and lands on everything wet — dew heavy enough to soak boots, fog lifting off the low ground, grass that will not be dry enough to cut until nine. Sunrise Property Management Services works from there straight through the long day: mowing, trimming, edging, and clearing what falls, at places lived in all year and places that only get opened up in summer. Keeping a yard for somebody who is not there is its own discipline, because the standard has to hold whether anyone is watching or not. By late August the growth eases, the cuts spread further apart, and the season ends with the leaves hauled and the lawns handed over clean. The route covers Pickford and the roads out toward Kinross, Cedarville, and the Sault.
