Out toward Route 71 there are pieces of prairie that were never turned, big bluestem going copper in October, a reminder of what all of Oswego was before the subdivisions arrived. McManus Lawn & Landscape IL works the tamed version of that ground — weekly mowing, trimmed fence lines, edges cut back to a firm line, cleanups in spring and again when the leaves quit. When winter sets in, the same drives and walks get opened and salted, storm after storm after storm. Kendall County asks for two entirely different kinds of work with no real gap between them. The through-line is showing up on the day it matters.
