There is a week in October along Wayne Road when the mowing slows and the shovels come down off the wall. Alexander Lawn Care & Snow Removal LLC lives on both sides of that week, cutting, trimming and hauling leaves until the ground goes hard, then plowing drives once the first real storm comes through. Westland sits flat enough that wind carries snow across open lots and packs it against a garage door, so the clearing has to be thorough rather than quick. In summer the reward is a lawn that holds its shape all week. In winter it's a driveway a person can pull into at dusk without slowing down.
