Before Algonquin is properly awake there is mist standing over the Fox River and a stillness on the streets that will not last past seven. Happy Rooster Landscaping, LLC likes starting in it — trailer loaded in the half-dark, first mower running as the light comes up over the water, dew burning off row by row as the morning warms. Mowing, trimming and edging get done while the air is still cool, and beds get tidied before the heat makes anybody argue about it. By mid-morning a yard is finished, swept and glowing, and the crew is two streets down. That early hour belongs to homes across Algonquin and the neighboring villages, all season long.
