Shipman is a handful of streets in Macoupin County where the prairie starts breaking into timber and creek bottoms, and the quiet out here is the real thing. Brackett Lawn Care mows the village lots and the long country yards, trims around the trees and the propane tanks and the mailbox posts, and edges walks so they read straight from the road. Grass under old shade comes on slow and uneven while the open ground fairly gallops; both get cut, and both look better for it. There is a stretch in June when the whole county smells green, and that is the season this work lives in. Serving Shipman, Brighton, Medora and the surrounding Macoupin County countryside.
