Late in the day the light across Peoria County goes gold and every mowed lawn in Radnor shows its stripes for an hour. Marchesi Meadows works that hour often, finishing the last cuts, trimming the borders and blowing the drives clean before the dew comes back down. Between here and the Illinois River valley to the east the country rolls, which makes for yards with real shape to them and edges worth taking seriously. Spring cleanups get the turf breathing again after the freeze; autumn leaf work carries the season out. In between, week by week, the grass is held at a height that suits it and the property is the better for it.
