In November the wooded hills above Elsah go bare and the river shows through the trees again, and Jersey County lawns take their last cuts of the year in cool, bright air. Scott's Mowing runs that closing round — mowing while there is still growth to take, trimming the borders back, and clearing what the wind has piled against the porch steps. It is quieter work than midsummer and it lands differently: a yard put in order ahead of the hard weather. Come April the same streets start the round over again. Mowing, trimming and edging for Jersey County and the surrounding towns.
