The growing season in Cicero is a short, generous window between a slow lake-cooled spring and a cold that shows up early. Lake Effect Lawnscapes Inc. spends that window mowing, trimming and keeping lawns even from one week to the next, because grass here does most of its living in a hurry. Muck-black ground toward the north and old lake sand underfoot mean two yards on the same street can behave nothing alike. Reading that difference, knowing where to cut higher and where to come back sooner, is the craft of it. What comes of it is a lawn still holding its color deep into the fall, which in this town counts for something.
