The ground under St. Clair Shores is old lakebed — heavy, flat and slow to drain, which is why a spring rain sits on the yards a while before it lets go. Organic Matters Landscaping works with that ground rather than against it, mowing at heights the turf can carry, trimming and edging so a lawn keeps a defined shape, clearing the debris that mats grass down. Seasonal cleanups open the beds in spring and close them out in fall. Grass in this town grows in short intense stretches, and the schedule is built around them. Attention across the season is what a lawn actually answers to.
