Toward Cement City the township turns from lake road to open farm ground, and spring arrives there first as standing water and then, almost overnight, as green. Pierson Landcare Services LLC opens the year on those properties — the cleanup that pulls winter off a lawn, the first cut that gives it an edge again. From there it is mowing, trimming and edging on rotation, straight through to the last leaves in November. Lawns out this way run to the big side, part yard and part pasture, and the line between the two gets drawn fresh every week. By the time the summer nights turn warm, the whole place looks settled.
