High summer in Alton is one long green run — six or seven weeks when the grass never once considers quitting and every yard needs a visit like clockwork. Total Lawn Care keeps that pace, mowing at a height the heat can live with, trimming the corners, laying mower lines that hold straight across a whole front yard. Water comes and goes here; two inches can fall on a Tuesday and then nothing for a fortnight, and the cut has to answer both. When the season finally turns, the leaves come off and a last low pass puts the lawn to bed. Lawn care in Alton, all the way through the growing year.
