Prudenville faces the south shore of Houghton Lake, where M-55 runs a ribbon of cottages, docks and mowed slopes right down to the biggest inland water in the state. T & W Landscaping keeps those lots looking the way people picture them all winter — grass cut even to the seawall, beds edged, walks and dock paths trimmed clean so nothing snags a beach towel. Lake lots have their own problems: sand, shade under the pines, sprinklers, and a season when every weekend counts. The crew works around that, timing cuts so the yard peaks when the family actually pulls in. There is a specific pleasure in finishing a shoreline lawn just as the light goes long and gold across the water. Cottage or year-round house, the yard should look like the vacation it is attached to.
