Highland Road wakes up early: the storefront lots along M-59 have to be open and passable before the first customer turns in. Elowsky Lawn Services of Michigan works to that clock, plowing lots and drives while the sky is still slate-colored, then coming back through the growing season to mow, trim and edge those same properties. Waterford sits high and open along that corridor, so the wind will move snow back over ground you have already cleared — you go again. In July the same exposure bakes, and the mowing becomes a race with the heat of the afternoon. Either way the measure holds: show up early, cut it clean, leave nothing half-done.
