Daybreaker Landscapes

About Daybreaker Landscapes

Daybreak in Union comes up over old glacial hills and oak groves, and the shape of the day gets decided in that first hour. Daybreaker Landscapes takes both halves of the year here: mowing, trimming and edging through the growing months, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the northwest wind starts arriving cold off the Kishwaukee country. Summer yards get even passes and clean borders; winter drives get cut to bare drive, walks opened a full width, and ice handled at the steps and the tight turns where it likes to sit. McHenry County weather does nothing halfway — a heavy wet snow one week, a green flush the next — so the schedule bends and the standard does not. Either half of the year, the aim is the same: a place that looks tended, and a way in and out nobody has to think about.
