Along the railroad right-of-way at the edge of Tolono, a narrow strip of original prairie still stands — big bluestem over your head by August, never once broken by a plow. Hadlys Lawn Care LLC works a few hundred yards from that, doing the opposite thing and honoring the same one: grass, tended. Mowing on a steady weekly cycle, close trimming around foundations and mailbox posts, cleanups in spring and again when the season lets go. Black Champaign County soil grows turf with an enthusiasm that has to be met, week after week, or it gets away from you. The aim is a yard kept even and open while the wild grass down the tracks does whatever it likes.
