Out on the flats off Page Boulevard the sun drops behind the western hills and turns every mowed lawn a deeper green for about ten minutes. VNO Lawn Care and Landscaping works that side of Springfield right through the growing season — mowing on schedule, trimming the fence lines, edging drives and walks, mulching beds so the borders read clean from the road. Big open lots bake in July, so the cut goes higher and the pass goes slower. Cleanups sit at either end of the calendar: the raking out in April, the leaves in November. The reward is a place that looks cared for without ever explaining why.
