There is a sound to the start of a Springfield workday: an engine catching in the cool of the morning, then the steady note of a mower settling into a lawn. Springfield Power Products makes that sound across Effingham County — mowing, edging walks and drives, trimming what a deck cannot get to, and leaving the walks and drive swept clean. Sharp blades cut cleaner, and grass cut cleanly holds its look far longer between visits. The smell of fresh cut carries down the block by the time a yard is done. It is a plain measure of a job, and it holds up all week.
