July around Portage Lake means boat trailers in the drive and grass that gains an inch any time you look away. Checkered Lawn Care keeps those lakeside yards in order — mowing on rotation, trimming around dock posts, seawall ends and the trees that lean out over the water, cutting the drives back to their true width. Lawns on this chain of lakes run damp at the bottom and sandy at the top, and the same yard can want two different approaches in a single afternoon. When it's finished, the property looks the way people picture it in January while they're planning summer. Lawn care throughout Putnam Township and the shoreline roads.
