When October sets the oaks and hickories ablaze across the St. Francois Mountains, the leaves come down on Lesterville by the armload. MoTree & Contracting LLC gathers them up, clearing lawns and beds so the grass heads into the cold months able to breathe. Through the long summer before that, the job is mowing and trimming beneath old granite knobs that have watched over this valley longer than anyone can reckon. Few things satisfy like a yard finished just as the sun slides behind those ridges, edges squared and walk swept bare. Visitors come to Lesterville for wild water and ancient rock; a well-kept lawn is how the people who live here make it home.
