Out past Laraway Road the subdivisions thin and the corn stubble takes over, and in winter the wind treats that open ground like a runway. Countryway Maintenance knows what that means for New Lenox drives at the edge of the fields: cleared at midnight, drifted shut by four, so you go back out. Plowing, shoveling the walks and putting down salt is the cold half of the year. The warm half is mowing, trimming and edging those same long country lots when the grass jumps after a thunderstorm. Same properties, same people, two entirely different kinds of weather.
