Northwest Jackson County is a quilt of section farms and small crossroads — Rives Junction, Tompkins Center — with lawns that sit right out in the open and take whatever the sky sends. Perkins Land Services LLC works both ends of that bargain. Warm months mean mowing, trimming and edging, keeping properties across the township neat through a growing season that runs from mud to frost. Cold months mean plowing and clearing, opening drives and walkways early, because out here the county roads are not always first. It is honest work in a place with plenty of horizon, and the results read from a quarter mile off.
