West Main runs dead through the Public Square, brick and storefronts and the kind of blocks that show every bit of upkeep or the lack of it. Hale Outdoor Services llc keeps ground looking cared for on both sides of the year — mowing and trimming through the green months, plowing and salting when the pavement turns treacherous. Belleville weather does not negotiate: a ninety-degree Tuesday in August, an ice-crusted Wednesday in January, and grass or asphalt waiting either way. The work is plain and visible, which is the appeal — anybody can walk past and see whether it got done. Both services run through Belleville, Swansea, Fairview Heights and Millstadt.
