Trim Creek slips through the farmland east of Beecher, and the low ground it drains stays green a while longer than the high spots in an August dry spell. Tadpole's Aquascapes & Landscaping works the whole range of a Will County yard — the soft corner that needs a careful pass, the sun-baked strip along the driveway, the patch under the maple where nothing much wants to grow. Mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups fill the week, taken in whatever order the weather permits. Evening is the best hour on this prairie: the heat lets go, the cut grass darkens, and the lines across a lawn read like rows in a field. That is a good way to leave a property at the end of a day.
