The glacier left Lake Barrington its shape — low rolling ground, kettle ponds, and big-shouldered oaks standing in the middle of lawns as though they were here first, because they were. CP Landscaping works among them, mowing, trimming, edging, and running the spring and fall cleanups these oak-shaded properties always need. May is a rush of wet ground and fast grass, and keeping the schedule is most of the job. The satisfaction is in the contrast: deep green cut clean, a sharp line where turf meets bed, everything beyond it left as wild as it likes. Lake Barrington and the Barrington-area towns nearby.
