Late August in the loess bluffs around Murphysboro is hickory shade and cicadas and a heat that refuses to break until well after supper. RGM Rawson Ground Maintenance keeps mowing straight through it, cutting at the height the season calls for, trimming around posts and tree trunks, edging where concrete meets green. Weeds and feeding get handled on their own schedule, because turf in this ground will do whatever it likes the moment nobody is watching. Autumn brings the cleanup, leaves off the lawn and out of the beds ahead of the first cold rain. There is a quiet satisfaction in closing the gate on a property that looks finished.
