The land east of town rolls the way the glacier left it — kettle hollows, low ridges, and lawns that never quite lie flat. Grand Outdoor Services mows that uneven ground around McHenry with a steady hand, trimming the slopes, edging the walks, opening the beds in spring and clearing the leaves in fall. Winter turns the same contours into a plowing problem, and the answer is patience: driveways opened top to bottom, walks shoveled, salt where the grade pitches toward the door. Nothing about the terrain is convenient, which is exactly why it feels good to leave it looking easy. The service map takes in McHenry, Johnsburg, Volo and Island Lake.
