Knoxville keeps its old square — the stone courthouse, the ring of brick storefronts, and maples that have shaded those streets since long before anyone's mower was invented. Asbury LawnCare works the blocks spreading out from there and the places where town gives way to Knox County farmland and the Spoon River timber. Mowing is the backbone of it: a regular cut, trimming close to the fences and the porch steps, edging along the walks. Come October those maples make the fall cleanup a serious job, and come April the spring cleanup opens everything back up again. There is something steadying about an old street where every lawn is cut and the edges hold their line.
