The ground around Watervliet is more sand than soil, and a lawn on it drinks fast and shows every dry week by the middle of July. Specialty Irrigation mows, trims and edges through that fruit-farm country, where blueberry rows run out to the fencelines and the wind off Lake Michigan turns up most afternoons. Cutting a little high on sand keeps roots in their own shade and holds color longer, and that is the kind of small decision that adds up over a summer. Edges along a drive or a walk are where the work becomes obvious, so they get the time they deserve. Cleanups open and close the season, front to back, curb to fenceline.
