Out past New Baden the sky stays busy — training flights from Scott Air Force Base cross overhead most afternoons, low enough to throw a shadow across a half-mowed yard. Fresh Cut Turf Pros works underneath all of it, cutting and trimming through the long green stretch from April into October and keeping the concrete clear. Then the year flips over and those same trucks take on the other job: plowing driveways open and clearing the walks after a storm drops its wet, awkward inches overnight. Snow here is rarer than up north and twice as much trouble when it lands, so being ready counts for more than being busy. Either season, the measure holds — you ought to be able to see the work from the road.
