Crystal Creek comes down through Algonquin and hands itself to the Fox River without any ceremony at all, and June along that seam is loud with growth — everything green, everything an inch taller than it was on Friday. A&A Landscaping LLC keeps pace with it: mowing, trimming, edging, and the cleanups that bracket the growing season at both ends. Turf near the creek bottoms grows thick and fast; turf up on the drier ground asks for a different height and a lighter touch, and knowing which is which is most of the job. A yard finished on a warm evening has a particular look to it — even color, tidy borders, nothing shaggy left along the fence line. That is the standard held for homes across Algonquin and the villages nearby.
