Riverside Lawn sits in its own quiet bend of Lyons — deep lots, short blocks, and more leaf litter than most of the village by the middle of October. Dons Quality Landscaping keeps those yards turning over through the fall, taking the final cuts as growth slows, trimming back what has finished for the year, hauling off the drifts that pile against foundations and fences. There is a particular pleasure in the last pass of a season, when a lawn goes into the cold level and open instead of buried. Autumn light comes in low and copper here, and it flatters a yard that has just been put right. Come spring, those same lawns wake up ahead of the ones nobody touched.
