Knoxville still has its square and its old stone courthouse, and the lawns at that end of town are cut close enough that a leftover stump shows like a bruise. A1 Stump Grinding Service LLC handles the whole sequence: the tree removed, the trunk taken out, then the grinder working the stump down beneath the sod until grass can close over it by August. Tree trimming fills the rest of the calendar — deadwood out, low limbs lifted, crowns held back off the porch. In June, when Knox County is as green as it gets, the difference between a tended yard and a neglected one is measured in inches of clearance. Knoxville, Galesburg, Abingdon, Oneida and Yates City are all within reach.
