By late July the heat sits on this country like a hand, and the only civilized hour is the early one. GM Landscaping Services Inc. takes it — mowers off the trailer while dew is still on the blades, moving through Milton yards in the cool before the sun clears the treeline. Trimming close to the foundations, edging the drive, sweeping the walks clean, and back out again before the afternoon turns heavy. A cut lawn in that light, striped and sharp against a gravel drive, is one of the plain pleasures of a west-central Illinois summer. GM handles that weekly care for homes and properties in and around Milton.
