July storms cross the river fast and hard, and the day after one, everything in the bottoms stands two inches taller than it did. Mean Green Lawn Services LLC gets after exactly that — mowing thick, wet, fast-recovering turf, cutting fence lines back out, edging walks to a clean line again. Out near the lakes at Frank Holten the humidity hangs on and the grass never really pauses, so the schedule is the whole secret. Cutting on time turns a jungle back into a lawn, and keeps it one. East St. Louis and the neighboring towns stay covered straight through the hot months.
