September comes up the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail before it ever reaches the houses — a cooler draft off the water, the maples along the bank turning at their tips first. E and N Property Services works the lawns that back onto that green line and the ones out past the last streetlight. Mowing kept on schedule, string trimming around trees and posts, edges pulled straight, leaves and cuttings carried off so a property reads as tended rather than merely cut. Fall grass in Plainwell rewards a steady hand; it holds its color long after the trail has gone brown. Lawn care for properties around town and along the roads leading out of it.
