West of Washington the land gives way toward the Illinois River, and you can feel that drop in the weather — fog standing in the bottoms in April, wind with nothing to slow it down in January. Mobeck Lawn & Landscape works both ends of that year. The warm months mean mowing, trimming, edging, mulch laid into the beds, and the cleanups that open and close a season. The cold months mean plowing, shoveled walkways and salt spread before the sun is up. It is the same yards, twice over — green and squared off in July, black and passable in February.
