Stockton sits high in the driftless country of Jo Daviess County, where fog pools in the valleys at sunrise and lifts off the ridges first. Yards up here are rarely flat, and B & B Hillside Repair mows them the way the land asks — with the slope, around the outcrops, walking the mower along a bank too steep to ride. Trimming, edging and cleanup follow, until a hillside lawn looks deliberate instead of merely cut. The reward waits at the gravel turnaround: a green shoulder falling away toward the hollow, every line true to the contour. It is honest work in country that does not make it easy.
