Sugar Creek runs slow under sycamores, and the ground it drains has been growing things generously for a very long time — including, in the yards along it, a great deal of grass. Bach's Landscaping & Lawn Care meets that week by week: mowing at a height that suits the heat, trimming around trees, posts and beds, edging the line where turf gives way to pavement, then clearing the clippings off. Central Illinois mornings come up heavy with dew here, so the day begins once the blades will cut clean instead of tear. Spring and fall cleanups handle what falls and what blows in. The result is simple and worth the trouble: a yard that looks composed from the road.
