March in Adams County belongs to the birds before it belongs to anyone else — the hedgerows fill with noise weeks before the grass takes any color. Little Bird Landscaping starts its year about then around Liberty, raking out beds and fence lines, clearing what winter dropped, then settling into mowing and trimming once the ground firms up. The pleasure is in small, careful work: a border cut clean, a corner nobody else bothers with. A yard is really a lot of little decisions added together. Done attentively, it reads as calm from the street.
