Downtown Algonquin still gathers by the water on summer evenings, and the village keeps that small-town habit of noticing whose yard is looking sharp. Smile Property Maintenance works both halves of the year there: mowing, trimming, edging and cleanups through the green months, plowing, shoveling and salting through the white ones. Most of it happens before anyone is awake, or quietly between other errands, which is how property care is supposed to feel, simply handled. This stretch of northern Illinois can hand you a sixty-degree Tuesday and a snow-covered Thursday in the same week, and a place still has to look like someone is minding it. Someone is.
