July afternoons here build a thunderhead somewhere west over the farmland and send it straight up Route 176 toward the village. Townsend Landscaping LLC watches that sky and works ahead of it — mowing, edging, trimming, one more yard finished while the light goes strange and green. Lawn care in a Wauconda summer is a race with heat and rain, run weekly and kept to the schedule anyway. Then the storm comes through, the lawns drink it in, and the whole thing begins again a few days later.
