Bartonville stands on the bluff above the Illinois River valley, which means yards here come with grades, terraces, and a view of weather arriving from a long way off. Beal Landscaping mows that terrain through the growing season, trimming close along steps and fence posts and edging where lawn meets concrete. Spring on the bluff runs early and green, and grass on a south-facing slope gets going before the flat ground below has thought about it. Cutting a hillside yard so the passes look intentional takes some doing, and it shows plainly when it is done right. Fall cleanup takes the leaves off before the first hard freeze.
