Farmington sits in the rolling part of Fulton County, where old mine ground has gone back to timber and water and the Spoon River valley opens out to the west. A&M curbing & landscape mows the hillside yards where the ground never lies flat and a straight pass takes some doing — mowing, trimming, edging, and the cleanups that spring and fall both demand. Slopes dry unevenly here, sun on one side and shade under the oaks on the other, so a single yard can want two different cuts. The work runs all the way to the border, right up to the drive and around every post. What you notice from the road is a lawn that follows its own hill neatly, which is harder than it looks.
