Washington keeps its old square at the middle, and the land tips west from there toward the Illinois River bluffs. Speerly's Outdoor Services Inc mows those neighborhoods on rotation — cutting, trimming, edging, and clearing the yard waste a season leaves behind. Central Illinois weather can turn a mowing week into a mud week, so the route gets read off the radar as much as off the calendar. The reward is plain: a lawn striped even from curb to fence, the trimmer run around every post and hydrant, the walk cleared before the truck moves on. In late fall the maples around the square let go, and leaf cleanup carries the work to the edge of winter.
