From the west edge of Edwardsville the land falls away toward the Mississippi bottoms and the sky opens so wide that evening arrives in layers of orange above the levee. Gateway Lawn & Landscape Inc works under that sky all year: mowing, trimming and planting through the growing months, then plowing and salting once the ground turns hard as a countertop. Warm days end with clippings swept, borders cut and a lawn that reads as one even sheet from the curb. Cold days start before anyone is awake, with a drive opened and a walkway treated so the first step out of the house is a safe one. Two seasons, one town, and a genuine fondness for both.
