East of downtown Belvidere the first light comes in flat along Business 20 and sets the dew on every lawn glittering. Area Services Inc likes that hour best, when the air is still cool enough to make the work easy and the mower lines come out honest. Mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups are the whole of it here, done yard by yard across town and out along the roads toward Garden Prairie. There is real satisfaction in the last pass, the moment a lawn stops being stripes and reads as one even field of green. Boone County ground has a way of rewarding attention, and this is one small way of paying it.
