Murder Creek cuts a shaded gorge through Akron, and the yards near it hold a cool, damp green well into the heat of July. Julicher Landscaping mows those lots on the tighter schedule they ask for, works the trimmer around ledges, tree roots and old stone steps, and edges the walks where moss keeps trying to take the seam. April opens with a cleanup — winter's dead grass and fallen sticks pulled out so the new growth can breathe. Late in the year it closes the same way, leaves off the turf before the first hard freeze locks them down. Between those two bookends is the weekly work that keeps a place in order from the street.
