Six in the morning, dew still heavy, the ball fields silver and the village quiet enough to hear a mower two streets away — that is when Jose's Landscaping gets moving. The day's work is honest and repeatable: cut, trim, edge, shape the shrubs, freshen the beds, sweep and blow until the concrete is clean. Stickney mornings stay cool for about an hour in summer, and that hour is worth having. By the time the sun clears the rooftops a yard is finished and the crew is already two blocks on. Nothing dramatic in it — just a village looking after itself, one address at a time.
