Between the Boone County fields there are still woodlots — oak and hickory, dark ragged squares on the map — and in November they let go all at once. Timber Landscaping Inc. handles that season and the one right behind it: fall cleanup and leaf removal, then plowing, steps and walks opened by hand, and salt on the drives once they fill in. Through the green months the same ground gets mowing, trimming and edging on a steady rotation. Winter here arrives sideways more often than straight down, which is why the work starts before the light does. Caledonia, Belvidere, Garden Prairie and the roads that connect them.
