Every route has a Monday, and Monday in Taylor starts with a trailer gate coming down and blades spinning up. First Class Lawn Care Inc runs its week through the city's grid of short streets and deep back lots, laying the cut in alternating passes so the yard reads like corduroy from the front porch. Grass gets trimmed where the mower can't reach, edges get redrawn, and the driveway gets cleared of every last clipping before the truck moves on. Michigan summers push hard from June to September and the schedule holds anyway. A lawn that never looks overgrown is the result of somebody showing up on time, week after week.
