April in Macomb County is mud and patience: the frost lets go, the clay softens, the crocuses come up crooked through last year's matted grass. CLP Lawn Care starts its year right there — raking out the winter's litter, clearing the beds, and making the first cut of the season once the ground is firm enough to hold a mower. From there the weeks fall into place with mowing, string trimming, edging, weed control, and the long fall haul of leaves off the lawns. Shelby Township yards are open and generous, and they reward the kind of attention that shows up on schedule instead of on impulse. By June the lawn nobody could look at in March is the one the neighbors mention.
