The blocks around the Baca County courthouse hold the oldest shade in Springfield, trees put in by people who meant to stay a while. Underneath them grass grows uneven and wants a careful hand around roots and walkways. L&J Lawn Services looks after those yards and the newer ones out at the edge of town: mowing, edging along drives and sidewalks, trimming the corners a mower cannot reach, and clearing up afterward. A tidy front yard on a wide prairie street reads like an invitation. That is worth doing properly every week of the season.
