A few miles upriver the sandstone opens into canyons and the oaks lean out over cold water — Starved Rock country, and the reason for half the traffic that passes through LaSalle. Starved Rock Property Services works the yards on this side of it: mowing to a fixed calendar, trimming out along foundations and posts, edging drives and walks down to a deliberate rim. Spring cleanup pulls winter's mess out of the beds; fall cleanup takes the leaves off before the first hard freeze locks them down. Grass on bluff ground can be thin over sandstone and lush in the hollows, and a good cut evens out the look of both. Lawn care for LaSalle, Utica, Oglesby and Peru.
