Out in the farm country between Highland and Edwardsville, an Alhambra afternoon in June can stack thunderheads to the horizon and still leave a window wide enough to finish the cut. C Brothers Mowing takes those windows — mowing, string trimming along fence and foundation, edging where lawn meets drive, and hauling off the clippings and the seasonal mess. Madison County ground grows grass with enthusiasm, so the calendar matters as much as the machine. Yards here tend to run generous, with room enough that the pattern of the passes shows from the front step. That is the part worth taking pride in: a big lawn that reads as calm and finished.
