Franklin was built on what lies underneath it, and every shovel in this borough eventually meets the old rock. Alspach Landscaping & Nursery, Inc. works the surface — mowing, trimming, edging, cleanups and leaf removal through the growing months, then plowing, shoveling and salting once the hills go white. The turn happens fast up here: one week the mower deck is still warm, the next the ridge above the old mine hill wears a cap of snow. Both halves of the year ask the same thing, which is to show up and leave the ground better than you found it. A cut lawn in August, a cleared drive in February — the same handwriting in different ink.
