Southfield covers 26.26 square miles, by far the largest of the towns Groundkeep serves, and the main branch of the River Rouge runs through it. It is a historic center of mid-century modern architecture in Michigan. The city keeps 774 acres of park land across 33 sites. Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve and Valley Woods Nature Preserve together make up 333 acres of walking trail. Much of that land is wooded along the Rouge, and the houses beside it catch a heavy leaf fall every October that ends up in the gutters. A long, low mid-century roofline runs more gutter at less pitch than a steep prewar roof, and a two-story colonial on a big lot means more windows to keep clear.
