Summer evenings in the Lebanon Valley come on slow, the hayfields going gold while the hills to the east hold the last of the light. METPRO lawn care works into that hour — mowing, trimming, edging the walks, blowing the drive clean so the yard ends the day tidy. Grass grows hard in Columbia County once the June rain arrives, and staying ahead of it is simply a matter of showing up on the week it needs. The spring cleanup clears the winter's fallen wood and matted leaves; the fall pass takes the maples down as they let go. What is left is a lawn that holds its shape right up until the next visit.
