Along the Virgil Gilman Trail the old prairie still shows itself in August — big bluestem head-high, heat shimmering off the crushed stone. Turf asks for the opposite of that wildness, and Miguel's Lawn Care Inc. gives it: an even cutting height, tight edges, and grass held in shape through Aurora's hottest weeks. August is when a mowing route is earned, when the day has to start early to get out ahead of the sun. The payoff is a yard that looks cool and finished at the end of a ninety-degree afternoon. Aurora and the Fox Valley towns around it make up the week.
