East of the village the Des Plaines runs slow through cottonwoods, and weather in Summit always seems to arrive up that valley — green haze in April, thunderheads in July, the first hard gray in November. Dario Garcia Landscaping LLC works both ends of that year. The warm months mean mowing on a regular cycle, trimming and edging, keeping beds clear, and hauling off what spring and autumn leave behind. The cold months mean plowing driveways and lots, shoveling walks and steps, and salting before a wet day turns to glaze overnight. The pleasure is in the contrast — a lawn cut into even bands in June, a drive scraped to dark pavement in January, each one a kind of order held against the weather.
