Montebello sits where Hancock County shoulders down to the Mississippi, and on summer mornings the fog lies on the water below the bluff until the sun lifts it off the treetops. Brands Outdoor Services is mowing by then, taking the cool part of the day, trimming around fence posts and porch corners and edging where the lawn meets gravel. River-valley yards grow thick and fast, so the routine holds steady: cut, trim, edge, leave the place looking settled. Spring and fall cleanups clear the beds and the leaves the wind brings up out of the timber. The same care carries over toward Hamilton, Warsaw and Nauvoo.
