Monee wakes flat and wide, the light arriving all at once across fields that run to the horizon with nothing to slow it down. All Pro Lawn and Landscape Inc. is out in that first hour, when dew still weights the blades and the mower leaves a darker track behind it. Mowing first, then the trimmer along the fence line, then the walk edged and the clippings swept off the concrete. By mid-morning the yards on the village streets read as clean rectangles of green, and the work moves on to the next block. There is a plain satisfaction in a lawn that looks finished from the road.
