February in Waukegan gives a little back. The sun gets some strength behind it, snow slumps off the hedges along Sheridan Road, water runs down the drives all afternoon — and then the temperature drops after dark and every wet inch of it turns to glass. Roberto's Landscaping & Snowplowing works both sides of that swing, plowing and shoveling through the storms and salting the places that refreeze once the light goes. When the ground finally softens, the same properties get mowing, trimming, fresh mulch and a thorough spring cleanup to sweep the winter off. Knowing where a driveway holds water is the sort of local knowledge you can only earn by driving these streets in the dark. It is the difference between clearing snow and actually keeping a place safe.
