Grand Lake sits just inland of the Huron shore, and the yards around it come in odd shapes — cottage lots, tree-shaded slopes, long two-track drives. Lamp-post Lawn Care mows them the way each one needs, working around spruce roots and limestone outcrop instead of fighting them, trimming close to posts and porch skirts, edging where there is an edge to keep. There is a particular pleasure in a small northern lawn cut clean while the lake goes flat at dusk. Spring cleanup here means pulling winter's litter of needles and branches out from under the pines; fall means staying ahead of the leaves before the wind off the water piles them in the lee of the house. A short season, and a place worth working in.
