By mid-June the corn out past Mascoutah is knee-high and the humidity settles in for the duration, which is precisely when lawns grow fastest and ask for the most tending. Mayans outdoor service keeps them in hand — mowing, string trimming along fence lines and mailbox posts, edging the walks and drives, then blowing everything back onto the grass where it belongs. Cleanups in spring and fall handle the heavier lifting: the winter litter, then the leaf drop. It is hot, plain, satisfying work, and the proof stands out front where the whole street can see it. A good cut in this weather is worth something.
