Under all the brick and asphalt, Chicago is still prairie — deep black soil that once grew grass taller than a person before anyone laid a sidewalk on it. Planted Green LLC works with that inheritance in April, when the rain comes warm, the turf wakes all at once, and everything on the block needs cutting the same week. They mow, edge, trim, and pull the winter's litter out of the beds so light can reach down to the crowns. Watching a tired yard fill back in over three or four visits is the part worth waiting for. Green is a verb in this city, and it starts in the ground.
