Late August in Wauconda arrives with cicadas loud in the oaks and light that turns gold around six, out where village streets give way to open Lake County farmland. Art Hernandez Landscaping Service works that hour often, finishing an edge along a driveway while the heat finally lets go. Mowing, trimming and steady lawn upkeep — done so the line between grass and concrete is a line, not a smudge. There is real satisfaction in stepping back at dusk and seeing a yard sitting square and even. It is a good way to close out a day.
