Late afternoon in Libertyville, light comes sideways through the maples near Adler Park and every lawn shows its lines. Ludwig Landscape LLC cuts for that hour: even passes, clean turns, the trimmer along the fence and the light pole, the walk edged until there is a real border between grass and concrete. Beds are weeded and mulched once the ground warms, and in November the leaf drop is taken in stages so nothing smothers. Grass here comes on hard in May and needs a steady hand all the way through August. The reward is simple, a yard that looks finished, week after week.
