August on Main Street runs on iced drinks and shade, patios full past sunset, while a few blocks away the lawns are asking for their weekly cut. Lawnade Lawn Care Service of Royal Oak keeps that side of downtown's neighborhoods in order — mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups through the warm months, then plowing, clearing walks and putting down salt once the sidewalks glaze over. Lots near the center of town are small, tightly parked and fenced, which makes them a puzzle worth solving rather than a job to rush. Winter turns the same puzzle into a single question: where does the snow go on a twenty-foot drive? Solve it once and the whole cold half of the year gets easier.
