Late on an October afternoon around Big Rock the grain trucks throw dust up the section roads and the light comes in low and gold across the black ground. Schollmeyer Landscaping, Inc. reads a year in two halves out here: mowing, edging and cleanups while things grow, plowing and treating once they stop. The growing half is rhythm — same yards, same day of the week, an even cut and a swept walk every time. The frozen half is response — up before the alarm, drives cleared and walkways opened while the storm is still deciding when to quit. Both halves come down to the same thing: somebody can get out the door, and the place looks cared for.
