Late July in Oswego arrives thick and golden, the air hanging heavy over Waubonsie Creek as it threads through town. JLara landscaping inc. works through that heat on lawns across the village, mowing on a rhythm that keeps grass from racing ahead of summer. Each yard is trimmed tight along beds and walls, and clippings are blown off the walks before the mowers move on. There's a special satisfaction in a lawn cut evenly at the hour when shadows stretch long across it and every stripe shows. JLara treats each property as a piece of Oswego's green, worth getting exactly right.
