Every good lawn in this town started out as dirt. From The Ground Up Landscaping likes that fact, and works the yards out toward the Park City line where the ground is still deciding what it wants to be. Mowing, trimming, edging and cleanup, week after week, until thin turf thickens and a rough lot starts holding a line. Midsummer is when the difference finally shows — green filling in where there used to be bare patch and dust. Patience is a service too, and Waukegan grass pays it back.
