In Little Falls the Peckman River runs quiet behind the houses until a hard rain reminds the whole neighborhood it is a river. Creative Images Landscape keeps the lawns on those streets through the growing season — mowing on a set rhythm, edging along the walks, trimming the places a mower deck can't reach, and mulch worked into the beds. Summer arrives thick and green off the water here, and the craft is in giving all that growth a shape. Spring and fall bring the cleanups, everything raked off the turf after the ground wakes and again before it hardens. The finish is what matters: stripes even, borders cut, pavement blown clear, a yard that looks looked-after from the curb.
