Late June light in southern Illinois comes in low and gold across the corn and shows every flaw in a lawn. Str8 Up Lawn Services cuts for that hour — lines run true across a corner lot, the trimmer taken around the light pole and the mailbox, the edge along the drive held to one unbroken run. Freeburg sits where farm ground meets the village grid, and the yards borrow a little of both: open, square, worth doing right. A finished lawn here looks calm from the road, and that calm is the reason for the weekly pass, from the first warm cut of the year to the last leaf haul.
