August in this corner of Adams County smells like dust and drying beans, and the gravel roads leave a haze hanging over every fencerow. CRM Lawn Maintenance LLC keeps yards around Rock Creek and Lima on a steady cut right through it — mowing on schedule, string trimming around mailboxes, posts and foundations, taking the drive edges back to a clean line, and blowing the walks off at the end. Grass out here goes rank in the low spots and thin along the ridges, and a good route accounts for both. A tidy yard at the end of a dusty lane is a welcome sight after a long day. That's reason enough to keep the blades sharp.
