Rives Township opens flat and wide, section roads ruled straight across corn and hay, with the young Grand River threading somewhere off past the fencelines. A and k lawn care service works that open country, where morning fog burns off the fields by eight and the light turns everything gold. Mowing here means long passes, clean lines, and a trimmer run around every post and mailbox until the yard looks like it was drawn on purpose. Cleanups come in spring when the ditches green up, and again in fall when the wind out of the west starts pulling leaves down the road. It is plain work done all the way through, and a tidy lawn out on a gravel road says something about the people who live there.
