After a night of rain the grass along the Mississippi comes up thick, and the barges working the lock downriver sound their horns through mid-morning like they are keeping time for the day. Radical Cut Lawn Care runs its passes then, striping the yard in alternating rows so the light catches one way and then the other as you walk around it. The trimmer takes what the deck cannot reach — around the maple, along the chain link, behind the garage — and the edger opens the sidewalk back to its full width. Clippings off the drive, gate latched, gone. Weekly mowing and lawn maintenance in South Rock Island, Milan, Moline and the river towns close at hand.
