Alloway in July is heat haze over corn, the creek running low and slow, and hardly a hill in sight to interrupt the sky. Connors Landscaping keeps the lawns out along those farm roads and in the village itself, mowing, edging and trimming so a yard reads as tended even with fields stretching away behind it. Open Salem County ground grows fast after a summer thunderstorm and then bakes stiff a week later, so the cut has to be timed to the weather rather than the calendar. Winter is a shorter season down here but it does not skip anybody, and the plow goes on to clear driveways, lanes and walkways when it arrives. A crisp edge along a country drive is a small thing that makes a whole property look right.
