For two weeks each April, Springfield turns yellow — pine pollen on the porch rails, the cars, the walk, everything that holds still. HGS lawn care services works right through it, mowing Effingham lawns as the growing season kicks in, edging the drive, trimming the corners, clearing the hard surfaces once the dust settles. Grass in this county goes from dormant tan to full green in what feels like a single warm week. Getting out ahead of that first flush sets the tone for the entire summer. After the pollen washes off in the first good rain, a well-kept yard looks brand new again.
