In August the wind arrives from the west across Kane County corn, warm and heavy, and by noon every yard in Algonquin smells like cut grass. S Gonzalez landscaping works straight through that heat, mowing, trimming the fence lines, edging walks and drives, keeping beds clean and mulch where it belongs. Midsummer is when a lawn either holds or gives up, and holding it comes down to height, timing, and never taking more than the plant can spare. Then the blower clears the walk, the truck pulls away, and what is left is a property that looks tended rather than merely mowed. When the leaf drop arrives, the same yards get taken down to bare turf for winter.
