The last hour of daylight in Leland smells like cut grass and road dust, with grain trucks headed toward the elevator and the fields running flat to the tree line along Little Indian Creek. Kleinprinz Lawn Care is on the mowing rotation about then, finishing a yard, trimming around the clothesline post and the fence corner, edging where the walk meets the lawn. Spring and fall the job becomes cleanup work — opening the yard up in April, putting it to bed in November. LaSalle County grass grows hard through May and June and then wants steady attention the rest of the way. A lawn left level and finished at the edges is a small thing done right, and it shows from the road.
