Flying W’s Mowing Service

About Flying W’s Mowing Service

Come June, the light in Gillespie hangs on until nearly nine, long and gold over the corn, and that last hour is the finest one to be cutting grass in. Flying W's Mowing Service works mowing, edging, string trimming along fences and foundations, and the cleanups that bookend a Macoupin County year — the March pass that lifts winter off a lawn, the November one that takes the last of the maple leaves. Come winter the same trucks turn to plowing, clearing drives and lots, shoveling walks, and salting the ice that forms overnight on shaded concrete. A yard on a Gillespie side street ought to look like someone drew the border with a straightedge; that is the standard they hold to. The route runs through Gillespie and out toward Benld, Staunton, Sawyerville and Bunker Hill.
