The mile roads run straight across Shelby Township one after another, and on an October Saturday you can drive them and watch the whole township putting itself away for winter. Victory Lawnscape L.L.C. is out in that traffic — trailers down, leaves off the lawns, the last mows of the year cut a little lower, beds cleaned out and edged. A few weeks later those same roads are white before sunrise, and the trucks are plowing drives and lots and salting where the wind has scoured a surface bare and refrozen it. There is real satisfaction in the handoff: one season closed properly so the next one starts clean. Mowing, trimming, cleanups, snow — a year's work in a township worth the driving.
