The bur oaks along Waubonsie Creek stood here before the subdivisions did, and come September they drop acorns onto lawns like hail with intent. Iron Oaks Landscaping LLC works beneath that canopy, mowing, trimming close to roots without gouging, edging the walks, hauling off what the trees shed, and mulching beds so they hold moisture through a dry Aurora August. Oak shade makes a patchy lawn if nobody is paying attention and a deep, cool green if somebody is. The satisfaction is a yard that looks like it belongs to the trees instead of fighting them. Twice a year a full cleanup resets everything, once for the thaw and once for the fall.
