Take one house on a Pin Oak township road and follow it around the year: April mud, June growth, August dust, then the first snow leaning against the garage door. Garrison Home Services keeps that house on both sides of the turn — mowing, trimming and edging through the green season with the cuttings cleaned up and the boundaries kept sharp, then plowing, shoveling and de-icing once the ground goes hard. Between Edwardsville and Highland the drives run long and the wind has plenty of room to work, so winter visits get measured in passes rather than minutes. The aim is a property that never looks neglected, whatever the month happens to be doing. Same hands, all the way around the calendar.
