Gull Lake holds the light late on an August evening, and the lawns that run down to it are some of the most looked-at ground in Kalamazoo County. Gull Lake Landscape Co keeps them cut, trimmed and edged — the slope from the house to the water, the strip along the drive, the tight corners around the steps where a mower can't reach. Lakeside grass takes sun and wind from one side and shade from the other, so it never grows at a single speed. Cutting it well means reading the ground each week instead of repeating last week. When the boats come in at dusk and the yard is even from the porch to the shoreline, the work has said everything it needs to.
