About Jerry's Lawn & Tree Care

By mid-October the hickories above Bullfrog Lake turn a yellow strong enough to light a whole hollow, and every one of those leaves eventually lands on somebody's grass. Jerry's Lawn & Tree Care spends the season staying ahead of it — mowing while there is still growth, edging the walks back to a firm line, trimming close along fences and foundations, and clearing the yard when the canopy finally lets go. Palos lawns live in shade for much of the summer and in full sun for the six weeks after leaf drop, which changes what the turf wants and when. Working with that rather than against it is most of the job. The measure of a good day is a yard that looks swept, with the grass still standing up underneath.
