There is a particular satisfaction in a straight line laid down across a lawn, and it is the whole reason to do this work well. Under the oaks and hickories along Whittaker Road, Dappers mows, edges and trims through the growing season, then rakes and hauls the leaf fall when the canopy finally turns loose. Wet Michigan springs bring the grass on fast and leave the clay soft, so timing matters as much as horsepower. A finished yard should read as sharp from the sidewalk as it does from the porch. Ypsilanti Charter Township is full of lawns worth that trouble.
