Drive inland from the river and St. Clair Township goes quiet and square — section roads, drainage ditches loud with red-winged blackbirds, corn standing green by the Fourth of July. CM Landscapes keeps the lawns out here, the ones with room to breathe between the fencelines, mowing and trimming and running the edger where turf meets gravel. A big yard rewards patience: the long afternoon pass, the overlap held even, the tracks laid down the same direction each week. Come October there are leaves enough to bury a driveway, and those get cleared too. What you end up with is a place that looks cared for from the road, which is how it should be.
