Old brick holds the light late along Lockport Street, and the planting beds in front of those storefronts go gold in the last hour before dark. Alex Perez Landscaping works to that hour's standard wherever the truck stops: beds cut in with a firm shoulder, mulch laid even, shrubs shaped so they look tended rather than merely cut back. Mowing, trimming and edging get the same attention, right down to the sweep that leaves a driveway bare. There is a real satisfaction in pulling away from a property and watching it hold its shape from the street. From Plainfield the routes run out toward Romeoville, Oswego and the towns between.
