Noon in Hall, high summer: sun straight overhead, the Bureau County fields shimmering, the shade under a yard maple worth standing in. Prime Lawn Maintenance keeps the mowers running through it, yard after yard, on the repeating schedule that holds a lawn even. Trimming follows behind — fence lines, foundations, around the posts and the mailbox — and then the edges of walks and drives get cut back to a line. Come autumn the same properties turn into leaf work, hauled clear before winter pins it all down. Grass in this river country grows generously, and answering it well is the whole job.
