At Portland Point the shore drops away in pale shale steps and the lake sits hot and glassy through July. Master Mowing LLC spends those weeks doing the thing in its name and doing it all the way — mowing, trimming, edging, then clearing the clippings off the walk before the truck pulls away. Stripes laid true across a Lansing side yard are a small kind of drawing, and they are worth the extra turn it takes to get them right. Mulch, bed edging and seasonal cleanups fill in the shoulders of the year. Come by on a Friday evening and the whole street is short, straight and quiet.
