Storms reach Ypsilanti from the west with plenty of warning — you can watch the sky stack up over the county line and count the minutes before it hits the Huron valley. Thor Outdoor works either kind of weather: mowing, trimming, edging and yard cleanups through the humid green months, then plowing, snow clearing and salting when the front arrives cold instead of wet. Grass after a July downpour grows like it has something to prove, and staying ahead of it means arriving on time, every time. In January the urgency simply relocates to the driveway, at an earlier hour and a lower temperature. Same trucks, same streets, different blade.
