East of town the land flattens toward Willow Run, where the sky is wide enough to watch a whole afternoon of weather arrive from one end of it. Melvers General Maintenance LLC keeps lawns out in that open country and back through Ypsilanti's neighborhoods — mowing, trimming, edging and clearing away whatever a season leaves behind. Where little breaks the sun, turf takes a beating in August, and the mowing height matters as much as the mowing. Bringing a property back to trim and orderly is a plain kind of accomplishment, and it holds up all week. Then the grass grows again and it is done again, which is the bargain you strike with a Michigan summer.
