Streamwood was laid out over old prairie and farm sections, and Poplar Creek still winds its preserve through the middle of town, green and unhurried. ROCKVALLEY LANDSCAPING AND LAWN CARE keeps the neighborhood lawns along those streets — weekly mowing, trimming around light posts and mailboxes, edging the sidewalk line, and clearing the walks before leaving. Yards sit close enough here that a single neglected lot shows; the pleasure is in a whole block reading as one continuous green. July storms come off the flatland fast and hard, so the schedule bends around them and catches up the next morning. By October the work turns to leaves off the parkway trees, gathered and gone.
