By mid-June the air along Springfield Avenue is thick enough to lean on, and every lawn in Champaign is growing an inch behind your back. Lorenzo's Lawn Care General Service keeps the cuts coming — mowing on schedule, trimming around trees and fence posts, edging where turf tries to creep over the sidewalk, and sweeping the clippings off the drive before pulling away. Storms come up fast out of the southwest here and can turn a dry week into a jungle in two days, so the route bends with the sky. A mown yard with clean lines looks intentional, which is really what a lawn is for. Heat or rain, the grass keeps its appointment, and so does the mower.
