Along Windsor Road the town thins into field in the space of a single block, which tells you most of what you need to know about how weather behaves in Champaign. Merrill Landscape Services keeps properties in order on both sides of that line — mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups when things are growing, then plow work, hand clearing and salt when they are not. Midwestern turf will run away from you in a wet May and go dormant by August, so the schedule bends to the year rather than to the calendar. Winter asks the opposite thing: be there before anyone is awake. A place tended straight through both extremes never gets that catching-up look.
