The section roads out of Union Township run arrow-straight across sandy loam, and the houses sit where the farm fields left off, so a yard here can hold both a shade tree and half an acre of open sun. Kirby's Lawn Care cuts to that mix — height set for the exposed stretches, tight trimming around mailboxes, posts and foundations, edges cleaned where turf creeps over concrete. September is the best of it: cool mornings, grass thick again after the August heat, every pass showing in the light. Leaf cleanup follows soon after, and then the yard is put away for the year. Serving Union Township, Mount Pleasant, Shepherd, Winn and the Isabella County countryside.
