The first real flakes usually find Franklin Road in November, drifting down through bare oaks at the north end of the city where Southfield leans toward Bingham Farms. YNM Lawn and Snow watches for that turn all autumn, because the day the leaf work ends is roughly the day the plow gear goes on. Winter means opening driveways and walkways, shoveling the steps a blade will never reach, and salting so ice does not set up overnight. Summer means the other half of the trade: weekly mowing, edging along drives, string trimming, mulch in the beds and cleanups at the opening and closing of the season. One yard, two weathers, and somebody handling both of them.
