The Fox River runs straight through Dundee, splitting the town into its east and west halves, brick storefronts along the banks and old shade trees leaning over the streets that climb away from the water. Hometown Lawn Care LLC mows both sides of that river all season, taking the tight village lots near the bridge and the deeper yards up the slope, everything cut to sit even on ground that rarely is. Kane County springs come wet and green and impatient, and the mowing starts before anyone is quite ready for it. Then it settles into rhythm: cut, trim the tree rings and fence lines, edge the walk, clear off, move on. By midsummer the river-town yards have that steady, looked-after look, block after block down to the water.
