Before the mile roads have found their traffic, Sterling Heights is porch lights and the blue-gray hush that settles over Macomb County in January. That is the hour snow removal belongs to — the walk opened, the driveway cleared down to pavement, so a car backs out at seven without a second thought. Come June the same streets soften and lawn care takes over: the brick ranches wearing an even cut, the edge drawn clean where turf meets concrete. Santi's Property Maintenance works both halves of the Sterling Heights year, the shovel-dark mornings and the long green evenings after supper. It is plain, useful work, and a tidy property on an ordinary Tuesday is the whole reward.
