October arrives in Chicago Heights with a rail horn and a wind that comes down the open ground from the north. The oaks along the older streets let go all at once, and lawns disappear under them in a single weekend. green planet lawn care mows late into that season, then turns to the clearing — leaves lifted off the turf, beds cut back, grass left short and breathing before the cold sets in. Come April the same yards get the reverse treatment, the winter's debris pulled away so the green underneath can find the sun. Between those two ends is a summer of mowing and trimming, week after week, on the level ground this town was laid out across.
