By mid-October the maples around West Branch Township have gone copper and the tamarack are turning that strange soft gold along the low ground. Up North Cut Co. is out for the closing rounds — the last mow of the year, cutting back the overgrown edges, leaving each property tidy before the cold settles in for good. Northern Michigan yards go quiet early, and how they are left in October is how they will look until April. That is worth doing right, and the finish shows it: even grass, tidy margins, nothing left leaning. Lawn care for homes, camps and seasonal places in and around West Branch Township.
