Greene County falls away toward the Illinois River in bluffs and wide bottom ground, and the October light comes in sideways and gold. Illinois Lawn And Landscape Inc. spends that stretch of the year on leaves — pulling them out of fence corners, clearing them off the grass before the first hard frost mats everything down. Through the growing months the work is mowing on a steady schedule, trimming what a deck cannot reach, and cutting the edges of walks and drives back to a clean line. A yard mowed and cleared reads differently from the road; the care shows before you are even out of the truck. Around here that is reason enough to do it properly.
