De Soto wakes early — it grew up around the rail yard, and the yards along the tracks still catch the first sound of the day. Caldwell Lawn Care Inc works those mornings, mowing and string-trimming while the shade lies long over the Joachim Creek bottom. Hill lots here ask for a steady hand on the slope and a careful pass around every retaining wall and mailbox post. Edges get cut back to a straight line, clippings get blown off the concrete, and the yard is handed over settled and even. The route runs weekly through the growing months across De Soto and the Jefferson County towns around it.
