North of Alton the streets give out into Fosterburg road country, where lots run long and a lawn can end at the edge of a bean field. Rhodes lawn plus llc mows that kind of acreage — wide open passes, trimming around outbuildings and mailbox posts, fence lines kept from creeping in. September is the good stretch out there: the humidity finally breaks, the grass eases off, and one thorough cut holds far longer than it did all summer. Leaf season follows, and then the yard is allowed to rest. Lawn care for Alton and the countryside just past it.
