May in Pekin is loud with growth — clover coming up in the low spots, grass gaining an inch overnight after a warm rain drifts in off the river. Busy Bees Lawn & Landscaping keeps the pace: mowing, trimming, edging, bed cleanup, the weekly circuit that turns a wild yard back into a kept one. Landscaping in this valley means working soil that will grow anything you allow it, and knowing where to cut and where to leave be. There is a particular pleasure in the half hour when a lawn goes from unruly to level. The bees, for their part, are welcome to the clover in the corners.
