Curb Appeal

About Curb Appeal

Morning comes to the courthouse square in Murphysboro the way it always has, light sliding down old brick and shade pooling under the street trees. Curb Appeal keeps the grass around town in that same register: cut close, edged crisp where lawn meets sidewalk, so a place reads as cared for from the street long before anyone reaches the door. Spring in Jackson County arrives hard and green, and much of the work is simply keeping pace with it, mowing and feeding and staying ahead of the weeds that love this soil. By late fall the job turns to leaves, gathered and hauled off before the first cold rain mats them into the turf. The result is the whole point, a clean line and a quiet yard and a house that looks glad to see you.
