Cold spring water rises near Spring Grove and keeps the mornings cooler than they have any right to be in July. Lupe & Sons Landscaping works those hours, mowing, trimming close along fences and beds, edging the walks so the lines land where they should. Summer in this top corner of McHenry County is short and generous, and the grass takes full advantage, so the schedule keeps pace with it. Then autumn comes fast across the marsh and the cleanups begin, leaves cleared off before the ground turns hard. A finished yard on a bright fall day is a good thing to stand back and look at.
