Pleasant Valley Parkway runs a green seam right through Elmhurst, and in October the whole street lets go at once. Mikes landscaping llc handles the fall on these blocks — mowing while it still needs it, edging, trimming, and hauling leaves off lawns week after week until the grass comes back bare and clean. After that the plow goes on: driveways opened, walks cleared, ice treated where the shade holds all day long. Elmhurst's driveways are long and its trees are old, so both halves of the year ask for the same patience. The work is finished when the lawn or the pavement looks like nobody had to fight for it.
