Up on Turkey Hill the wind changes character sometime in early November — same direction, different intent. Hernandez Outdoor Services works straight through that hinge in the year: leaves and last cuts one week, blade and spreader the next, no gap in between. Belleville gets no gentle handoff between its seasons, so the trucks carry both kinds of gear by Thanksgiving. Grass cut clean in October, walks bare and gritted in December — the same attention, aimed at whatever the sky is doing. Grass and snow alike, from Belleville out to Swansea, Shiloh, O'Fallon and Freeburg.
