Sandhill cranes still work the wet ground around Whitmore Lake, and on a still evening their call carries clear across the yards. Cavanaugh's Lawn Care & Outdoor Services mows and trims those yards, edging where lawn meets walk and clearing leaves once the season turns. Lakeside lots are odd shapes — narrow, sloped, crowded with old maples — and each one gets cut to its own logic rather than a template. There is real satisfaction in the last pass of the day: stripes laid straight, clippings blown off the drive, the gate latched behind you. The route runs through Whitmore Lake and out toward Hamburg, South Lyon and the northern edge of Ann Arbor.
