After an April rain the ground around Tolono smells like the whole state's farmland, because that is exactly what it is — black loam deep enough to grow anything you set in it. JC Landscaping and Construction Services takes that as a starting point: beds shaped and mulched, turf brought back after a hard winter, mowing set on its rhythm for the months ahead. Yards here run flat and generous, and a flat yard hides nothing, so grade and line have to be right the first time. Standing at the curb when a job is done, you can see whether the house sits properly in its own ground. Then the mowing season begins, and the rest is holding that shape until October.
