September on this stretch of the Lake Michigan shore is the best-kept secret of the year — warm water, cool air, dune grass bending inland, and lawns that grow again after the August lull. Native Green Lawncare, LLC works through it in South Haven Charter Township: mowing, trimming, edging, and the fall cleanup that takes a yard down to bare, ready ground before the first hard freeze. Sand-based soil and steady wind off the water make for particular turf, and the schedule bends to it. Yards between the beach roads and the inland farm blocks are all part of the round, across South Haven Charter Township and nearby Van Buren County.
