Pawnee sits in the rolling farm country south of Springfield, where Sugar Creek winds through its band of timber and the wind gets an unbroken run at the town all winter long. Pain in the Grass LLC - Pooper Scoopers works both ends of the year here: mowing, trimming and yard cleanup through the growing season, then plowing and shoveling drives and walks once the ground goes hard. Spring is the big turn — a yard comes out from under the snow looking rough, and a thorough cleanup and first cut hand it back looking like summer is a real possibility. Winter's goal is simpler and just as welcome, a drive taken down to the pavement before anyone has to leave for work. Same yards, same families, all the way around the calendar.
