Ogle County lies flat and open toward the Kyte River, turbines turning slowly on the far horizon, and there is nothing out here to break the weather coming from either direction. Ostrander Landscaping takes the year in two halves, landscape and lawn work through the green months and plow and salt through the white ones. Summer means mowing, edging, mulch and bed lines, shrubs kept in shape, the yard given structure that still reads in December. Winter means being out before the household is, clearing the drive and the walk and putting the snow somewhere the next storm's snow can still go. On this ground the wind is the real client, and everything gets planned around what it will do next.
