Sandhill cranes cross the Jackson County sky in ragged lines all summer, calling over fields that run on until the next woodlot. Underneath them, Spring Arbor township is lawn and hedgerow and gravel two-track, and Rose City Mowers keeps the lawn part of it cut, trimmed and edged week by week. High summer is the test — heat, humidity, growth that doesn't quit until the nights cool off near Lime Lake. A yard mowed at the right height through August comes out the other side thick and green instead of burned. That's the result worth working for, and it's visible from the road every single week.
