Dig anywhere in Warren and you hit clay — the kind that holds water in April and goes to brick by August. Big Mikes Landscape works with it instead of against it, handling landscaping, mowing, trimming and cleanups through the growing months, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the ground locks up. Big lots, corner properties, the long shared drives out toward Groesbeck: the jobs here tend to have some size to them, and there is a genuine pleasure in seeing a rough yard come back square and cut. Winter's version of that is a driveway opened wide to the curb, with the pile set where it won't melt back across the concrete. Same ground, two problems, both of them solvable.
