Genoa City sits right on the Illinois line, where Nippersink Creek bends through and the lake-country hills of Walworth County begin. Geneva Landscapes and Maintenance llc. keeps properties here handsome in every month that has weather — which, in southern Wisconsin, is all of them. Summers are for mowing, trimming, and landscape maintenance on village lots and the rural places out toward the lakes; winters are for plowing and treating ice so driveways stay open when storms track up the state line. The creek freezes, the creek thaws, and the trucks keep their rounds either way. A town this close to Lake Geneva knows what well-kept grounds look like, and that is the bar the work is held to.
