Morning comes early to the east side, where the elk at Lords Park are already at the fence line and the pond throws back a flat white sky. That is the hour 4 Seasons Lawn Care likes best for mowing — grass still cool, blades sharp, the first pass laying a clean line across a yard that ran shaggy in the June rain. Elgin summers arrive humid and fast off the prairie, and a lawn here can put on an inch overnight, so the work is a matter of showing up on rhythm and keeping the edges honest. Trimming along the walk, a tidy sweep of the drive, and a yard that looks like somebody thought about it. They mow and tend lawns across Elgin and out toward South Elgin, Bartlett and Streamwood.
