Decatur runs on shifts, and a lot of this work is scheduled around them. Taylor Services of Illinois, LLC keeps commercial lots and lawns in shape on the east side and out along the highways, mowing, trimming and edging the strips and frontages nobody looks at until they get shaggy. In winter the calendar flips and the priority becomes plowed pavement and salted walks before third shift lets out into the cold. It means watching the radar all night in January and going out at hours most people will never see. What that buys is ordinary and worth a lot: employees crossing a clear lot, customers stepping onto grip instead of glaze, and a property that looks tended in every month of the year.
