Carlyle Lake makes its own weather, and the wind coming off it will lift clippings out from under a deck before they ever land. Bach's Landscaping & Lawncare works with that, cutting, trimming and edging yards around town through the long Clinton County growing season. Grass fed by Kaskaskia bottom ground comes back fast after every rain, so the calendar stays full from April onward. There is real pleasure in the finish — a straight edge along the drive, a tight line where the mulch starts, the concrete blown off before anyone sees it. On a bright breezy Thursday with sails out on the water, it is not a bad way to spend a day.
