Morton sits up on the prairie tableland east of the Illinois River bluffs, where morning arrives wide and unhurried and the dew hangs on until the sun gets serious about it. A Better Green works those first hours, when the grass is still cool and cuts clean. Mowing, edging, trimming and the cleanups that bookend the year here — the work is plain, and the proof is in how a yard looks from the sidewalk at noon. There is a particular satisfaction in a lawn where the stripes run true to the street and the edge along the walk is one unbroken line. That is what this outfit is after, one Tazewell County yard at a time.
