Rockford settles at evening — the light goes long and low across the yards, traffic on East State thins out, and a well-kept lawn turns quiet and even in the dusk. Zen Landscaping works toward exactly that stillness, mowing, edging and trimming until a property reads as calm rather than busy. This city has a real feeling for gardens, the Japanese garden up along Spring Creek being proof enough of it, and a home lawn can carry a little of the same order. Clean cut lines, tidy bed edges, nothing on the property fighting for attention. Come summer's end, the yard is simply a good place to stand.
