Sandy ground drinks fast around West Branch, which makes an early hour worth more than a late one and makes a well-timed mow the difference between green and going dormant. Natures Edge Landscaping & Irrigation keeps lawns on that schedule — cutting, trimming, edging and clearing the beds when the seasons turn. There is a stretch of dawn in June when fog lies low over the yards out along M-33 and the only sound is water and a mower warming up. Work that begins then tends to end well. By the time the day goes hot, the lawns look as though nobody ever touched them, which is the compliment.
