Late May in Hoffman Estates is all growth — the subdivisions green up at once, the restored prairie along Poplar Creek goes shoulder-high, and every lawn seems to need cutting the day after it was cut. Fitzgerald Lawn Care keeps a tight weekly schedule through it, mowing yard after yard on the curving streets and the cul-de-sacs. Trimming tidies what a mower leaves along fences, light posts and foundations, and the border where grass meets driveway gets carved back to a line. Come autumn the work turns to leaves, cleared off before the first freeze locks them in place. A whole street cut on the same day looks intentional, because it is.
