The gravel roads west of Teutopolis run straight until suddenly they do not, and the houses along them keep wide lawns with open fields at their backs. Waller's Lawn Maintenance works those places — mowing on schedule, string trimming out along fence lines and mailboxes, edging the walks, and raking and hauling the leaf fall once October gets going. Autumn is the real test here, because a windy afternoon can undo a morning's work and timing becomes half the job. There is a plain reward in handing back a yard that is bare, even and ready for frost. Then the ground rests, and by the first warm stretch everything is growing again.
