South toward Malta and Round Lake the soil turns to sand and pitch pine, and a lawn out there earns every inch of green it gets. KRP LANDSCAPING & HOME SOLUTIONS LLC mows, trims and edges through the long light of a Saratoga summer, holding the cut even when the heat tries to talk the grass out of it. Spring cleanups clear the winter's wreckage, and mulch and bed work give the plantings a clean line to sit against. In fall the leaves come off in stages until the yard goes into the cold looking deliberate. Green here is a thing you keep rather than a thing you are handed.
