On Old Mission the water shows up on both sides of the road, and in May the cherry rows come into bloom above lawns just waking out of the sand. Ground Level Landscaping & Irrigation works Traverse City yards in exactly that light — mowing, trimming, cutting a clean line against walks and drives, beds mulched dark so the green reads greener. Grand Traverse soil drains fast and the bay keeps the mornings cool, which makes a lawn that rewards a regular hand and forgives almost nothing else. Fall brings the leaves, the last cuts, and long low afternoons when the bay turns pewter. Straight lines, a clean edge where grass meets pavement, a yard that looks deliberate — that's the work.
