The first yard of the day in Elk Grove Village is always wet — dew heavy enough to darken your boots, the air still cool off the preserve. A.M. Landscape Maintenance L.L.C starts there and works outward: mow, trim, edge, blow the walk, latch the gate behind them. An early cut leaves a cleaner line, and by the time the sun is up over the rooftops a street can look entirely different than it did at seven. Lawn care is a rhythm more than an event, the same route coming back around before anything gets away from anyone. There are worse ways to meet a summer morning.
