There is no hill between Cicero and the prairie, so a storm can be watched building in the west for an hour before it ever reaches 31st Street. Bustos Landscape, Inc. reads that sky like a schedule — cutting ahead of the rain, coming back once the ground firms, keeping the route moving through weeks that rarely cooperate. The work is mowing, trimming, edging and seasonal cleanups on lots measured in feet rather than acres, where precision counts for more than horsepower. An evening cut in late June, with the light going gold and the air finally letting go of the heat, is about as good as this job gets. What stays behind is simple and satisfying: even grass, defined borders, a clear walk from the steps to the street.
