South Petersburg runs down toward the river bottoms, where sycamores go pale along the water and fog sits late in the low ground on an October morning. Grass grows easily in bottomland dirt, which is a blessing in May and a workload by July; it takes a weekly cut to keep a yard looking intentional. R&M Lawncare mows, trims and edges through that stretch, then turns to leaf work when the bottom timber colors and comes down all at once. When winter blows in off the open ground west of town, the same trucks push snow, open drives and lots, and lay salt where walks stay slick under the trees. A cleared drive on a gray Menard County morning is worth more than it looks.
