Arcola sits in flat black Douglas County dirt that will grow whatever you ask of it, grass very much included, and enthusiastically. Mid-America Lawncare & Landscaping mows against that enthusiasm all season — regular cuts, trimming around posts and hydrants, edging that puts a hard line where lawn meets walk. September brings broomcorn weather and a town suddenly full of visitors, and the yards along the route get their sharpest week of the year. Spring and fall cleanups bookend it, hauling off whatever the wind carried in across open ground. Prairie soil and tended grass — a fair trade in either direction.
