S. W. Smith Landscaping

About S. W. Smith Landscaping

April in Carroll County smells like turned ground and cut orchard grass, and the fields out by the Farm Museum green up a full week before the yards in town do. S. W. Smith Landscaping starts right there — the first mow of the year, the borders reopened along walks and beds, trimming around posts and trunks, and the winter's litter raked out from beneath the shrubs. The season settles into a steady cadence of mowing, trimming and cleanups that carries all the way through the November leaves. Then the equipment changes over and the snow work begins: plowing driveways and lots, shoveling walks and entries, salting the stretches that turn slick after dark. This land has always been worked by people who like the look of a job finished, and this is that same instinct, scaled down to the size of a yard.
