Late May in Peoria smells like cut grass and lilac, and the maples along Prospect Road throw enough shade to turn one lawn into two shades of green. Barr Landscaping & Lawn Service, Inc. works that season for everything it's worth — mowing on a steady cycle, trimming what the mower can't reach, edging the sidewalk into a line you could follow with your eye. A yard reads differently once its borders are crisp; the same grass suddenly looks intentional. The work moves through the neighborhoods around Glen Oak Park and out toward the county line, one property at a time. Peoria grows a lot of lawn between April and October, and keeping it in order is steady work.
