Everything in South Lyon starts with what the glaciers left behind — heavy clay, pockets of gravel, and low ground that stays wet into May. Selective Soils and Services begins there too, because a lawn is only ever as good as the six inches underneath it. Soil work, seeding and turf care, mowing and trimming through the season, and cleanups when the ground needs opening in spring or putting to bed in fall. Grass on this kind of till is something you build rather than buy, and it pays the patience back about the third summer. Kneel down, take up a handful, and the whole plan for the year explains itself.
