Down at the south end of Rochester Hills, along the streets that run off South Boulevard, the neighborhoods are close-set and everybody notices everybody's grass. Ta lawn and landscaping services works there in both directions of the year — mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups while things are green, plowing, shoveling and salt once they are not. Michigan hands this corner of Oakland County long humid summers and winters that arrive without much warning, and a yard needs answering in both. The pleasure of the job is simple: pull away from a house and see it looking better than when you pulled up. Repeat that down the whole block and the street changes.
