In June the hills west of Springfield go green in layers — hay in the fields, corn coming up behind it, and every yard in between needing a cut each week to keep pace. Meadows Lawn Care works that run of farm road and hamlet, mowing, trimming, shaping shrubs, spreading mulch dark along the foundations. Seed and fertilizer go where the winter plow piles left bare ground by the mailbox. The day ends the way it should: the mower shut off, the drive blown clear, stripes running straight across a lawn that finally matches the fields around it.
