Out toward Hayes Road, where Sterling Heights runs up against Clinton Township, the year has two speeds, and Kris's Lawn Care & Snow Removal runs both. Warm months: mow, trim, edge, tidy the beds and haul the clippings away. Cold months: plow the drive, shovel the walk, salt the step before anybody slips on it. It is the same properties, the same route, the same eye for where water sits and where wind piles things up. That continuity is the point — a crew that knows a yard in July also knows where its low corner freezes in January, so nothing has to be rediscovered every season.
