The streets on this side of Rock Island tilt toward the water, and on a Saturday in high summer you can hear mowers running the whole slope down toward the river. willcutsgrass is one of them — the name says plainly what the work is, and the work is exactly that. Grass cut on a regular turn, trimmed everywhere the deck cannot follow, edged along the sidewalk until the border is sharp from the drive to the curb. Clippings swept off the concrete, and the smell of fresh-cut grass left hanging in the yard for the rest of the afternoon. Mowing and lawn upkeep in South Rock Island, Milan, Rock Island and the neighboring Illinois Quad Cities towns.
