In Adrian the grain elevator is the first thing you see coming across the prairie, and on a clear day the turbines out on the ridge turn slow against a sky that simply goes on. Adrian Lawn Care LLC keeps the town's lawns underneath it, mowing weekly at a height that holds color through the dry weeks of August, string trimming along foundations, fences and posts, edges cut where grass meets sidewalk. Wind is the constant here, so clippings get collected instead of left to travel down the block. Spring cleanups take the winter's dead thatch and grit out of the turf and give new growth the room to come in thick. Nothing complicated about any of it: an even lawn, a straight border, and a yard that looks right all the way from the county road.
