The Muskegon River runs slow and tea-colored past Stanwood, and the ground it laid down here is sand — quick to drain and quick to go brown in a dry August. Legacy Lawn Care Services LLC works with that instead of against it: weekly mowing, trimming and edging, feeding and weed control suited to light soil, cleanups in spring and fall, leaves off the yard before winter closes in. Mecosta County lawns run from village lots to acreage out toward Canadian Lakes and Morley, and no two want quite the same thing. On a June evening the pines throw long shadows across a fresh-cut yard and it looks like the place it was meant to be. Big Rapids is a short run north, and the route takes in everything between.
