Sound carries in LaSalle — a mower two blocks over comes back off the brick storefronts on First Street, then again off the bluff above the river. Ekko Lawns is often the source of it, working the evenings once the heat lets go, cutting on a steady week and trimming close where old fence lines and stone walls make a mower useless. Edging is the part that shows: one crisp line down a sidewalk and a whole yard reads finished. Spring brings the cleanups, autumn brings the leaves, and summer brings the plain good work of grass kept even. Lawn care for LaSalle and the river towns beside it.
