On a June Saturday in Hale, the loudest thing on the block might be a mower and the second loudest a meadowlark somewhere out past the last houses. Figg's Lawn Care handles the mowing and trimming that keep yards there sharp through the long north-Missouri summer. Grass in this country grows like it has somewhere to be after spring rains, thick and fast, and a regular cut keeps it from getting the upper hand. Sidewalk edges get tidied, and the trimmer works around mailbox posts and porch steps. The reward is simple: a front yard that looks freshly combed when you pull in after a long day.
