Galesburg was laid out on a generous grid, and between every sidewalk and curb runs a parkway of grass that belongs to the whole street. In May, when the ground finally warms and the prairie turns loud with growth, Lewis Lawn Care LLC is out working those strips and the yards behind them, mowing, string trimming, edging along concrete until the seam is sharp. Spring cleanup clears winter's litter first, so the season starts from something honest instead of something ignored. Through summer the route repeats on its own steady beat, and in fall it winds down in leaves and one last low cut. Small work, done over and over, the kind a neighborhood only notices when it stops.
