Monday, early, dew still heavy on the grass — the route is set before the first mower comes off the trailer. RECON Lawn Care runs Sterling yards in that kind of order: mow, trim, edge, blow off the walks, next address. Summers in the Rock River valley push grass hard through June and then ease off once the heat settles in, and the schedule bends to match. A lawn kept on a rhythm never has to be rescued; it just stays even week to week, from the first cut of April to the last leaf cleanup in November. Straightforward work, done in sequence, and the whole block reads better for it.
