April along the Pecatonica Prairie Path at Tutty's Crossing smells like thawed river and fresh mud, and every yard in Freeport wakes up that month needing something. DGG Lawn Maintenance picks it up from there, with mowing, trimming, edging and spring and fall cleanups through the green months, and snow plowing, shoveling and ice control waiting on the far side of the calendar. The first cut of the year is a good one to be part of: shaggy grass in the morning, a yard with its shape back by afternoon. Winter around here is less about depth than about persistence, storm after storm coming across open prairie, so a plow route is a promise you keep over and over. Between the two, a property never quite gets away from you.
