North out of Monroe the old rail grade runs straight as a rule between the hills, and the light along it changes fast once October arrives. Cedar Creek Landscaping LLC works both ends of that turning — mowing, trimming and cleanups while the ground is green, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the driftless hills go white. There is real satisfaction in a yard put to bed properly in November, beds cleared, leaves hauled, nothing left to blow around. And satisfaction again at five in the morning, a driveway opened wide enough that nobody in the house has to think about it. Monroe, Monticello, Juda and the neighboring towns all sit inside the loop.
