Midday in Dixon, the courthouse block is quiet and the work is three streets over: a lawn that needs cutting, a run of weeds along a fence, a walk gone shaggy at the edges. Lawn care here is the whole small list — mowing, string trimming, edging, and clearing clippings and leaves off drives and sidewalks. These are the jobs people mean to get to and never quite do, and there is satisfaction in closing that gap before the afternoon is out. A yard looks different once somebody has been through it, and that difference is the product. Dixon, Amboy, Franklin Grove and Nelson.
