By late June in Rochester the evenings belong to the cicadas, and the smell of fresh-cut grass carries three houses down the block. B&C Fresh Cut Lawns keeps that smell on a schedule — weekly mowing, string trimming along fences and foundations, edges cut in true, and the concrete swept before the truck pulls away. Central Illinois grass grows fast once the humidity settles in, and the trick is never letting a yard get out in front of you. There is real pride in turning onto a street and seeing every lawn on the route standing even. Come dusk the fireflies rise off a yard that was mown that morning, and it looks exactly the way a summer yard should.
