At the end of a summer day the light off the water turns copper, the Arch across the river catches the last of it, and this side of the Mississippi glows for about ten minutes. Tyler's Lawn Care & Landscaping likes to finish a yard in that hour — mower loaded, beds edged, mulch dark and even, hedges squared against the fading sky. Landscaping in East St. Louis means working with rich bottom soil that will grow anything you plant and a good deal you didn't. Giving that abundance a shape is the craft: clean lines, healthy beds, a lawn that holds its cut all week. East St. Louis and the towns nearby stay on the calendar from spring straight through fall.
