Maple Leaf Lawn and Landscape

About Maple Leaf Lawn and Landscape

By January, the maple trees that give Maple Leaf Lawn and Landscape its name stand bare across Louisburg, and the orchard rows on the edge of town that draw crowds every October sit just as quiet, rows of dormant trees waiting out the cold. The company spends its warm months on lawns and beds and its cold ones on driveways and walkways, carrying the same attention to detail from one season's work to the other, a hedge trimmed straight in July gets the same straight edge on a plowed driveway in January. Snow across Miami County's rolling ground tends to catch in the low spots between hills, and the crew knows which driveways around town sit in those pockets and need a second look after a storm has otherwise passed. Walkways get cleared wide and salted against the refreeze that follows an orchard-country cold snap, when a clear afternoon can turn to ice by dark. There's a particular pleasure in a driveway cleared clean against a background of bare maples and sleeping orchard rows, the whole property looking tended, even in the dead of winter.
