Late August in Troy, a half moon already up at eight while the cicadas run their engine in the oaks and the day's heat finally lets go. Half Moon Landscaping and Lawn Maintenance keeps that last hour honest: the mowing finished, the trimming done around trees and posts, the clippings blown off the walk before the truck rolls out. Summers this far south in Illinois are long and humid and hard on turf, so the weekly visit matters far more than any single one. In fall the work becomes leaves; in spring it becomes the first cut of a lawn that has been waiting since November. The satisfaction is small and repeatable, which is the best kind there is.
