A couple of miles north of Roscoe the state line runs through corn stubble, and in January the wind crosses it with nothing to slow it down. That is the hour Executive Lawn Services is out — blade down, salt in the hopper, opening driveways and walks so the first car of the morning rolls away without a second thought. Come April the work turns green again: mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanups that lift the winter grit out of a yard. Either season, the result reads the same from the curb — a property that looks looked after. Roscoe is the home ground, and the towns around it are a short run up the road.
