A January dawn along Van Dyke is all gray and orange — snow lifting off the open fields, headlights strung out toward Romeo, and the plows already several hours into their morning. Wilcox Lawn & Snow LLC runs that shift, clearing driveways and lots, shoveling walkways, and salting the places where meltwater refreezes hard by mid-afternoon. Come April the same properties get the other half of the year: mowing, edging, trimming and the cleanups that bookend a Michigan summer. Washington Township's hills hold drifts in odd places and its lawns dry out unevenly, so both jobs reward paying attention. Clear pavement in winter, a clean line in summer — the standard does not change.
