On the south side of Rock Island the morning arrives in pieces — first the open lots, then the yards that wait in shade under the oaks below the Black Hawk bluff. AS Lawn Care is out in that half-light, mowing while dew still weighs the blades down and the river air is cool enough to work in. The trimmer finds the fence posts, the mailbox and the one stubborn corner behind the shed, and the edge along the drive comes out straight as a chalk line. By the time the sun clears the ridge, a yard that was shaggy at six o'clock looks like it had been tidy all along. This is lawn care for South Rock Island and the towns around it, and the best part is the moment the mower shuts off and the whole place goes quiet and green.
