Fancy Creek winds down through the townships north of Springfield, past Sherman and Williamsville, cutting a green seam through corn ground that runs flat to the horizon. Fancy Creek Landscaping keeps yards along that stretch and in the city itself, mowing, trimming and edging in summer, then plowing and clearing snow and ice once the fields go bare. Up here the wind gets a long run at you, and a January drift can close a lane between one visit and the next. Summer is more forgiving: a warm Tuesday rain means a tall lawn by Friday. Either way the reward is the same, pulling out of a drive that looks better than it did when you pulled in.
