Out here the storms announce themselves from the west, a blue-black shelf sliding over open farmland an hour before it reaches Belvidere. HR Landscape Services plans around that horizon — cut ahead of the rain when the ground is firm, come back after for the branches and the sudden growth that follows a good soaking. Mowing, trimming and edging are the routine; cleanups handle what the weather leaves behind. There is a particular Midwest week each June when everything grows at once and a mowed lawn feels like an act of composure. Boone County will keep sending storms across the corn, and the yards will keep coming back green, and someone has to be there in between.
