May in eastern Illinois smells like turned ground and rain, and the timber along the Little Vermilion leafs out almost overnight. Spring cleanup is the first real job of the year: winter's litter raked off the turf, beds cleared, the yard opened back up to light. From there Williamson Lawn Care settles into the season — mowing on a steady week, trimming close where a deck can't reach, edging drives and walks into a firm line. The land around Westville is flat and generous, which means a lawn has nowhere to hide; even is the whole game. Done right, a yard here looks calm from the road all summer long.
