There is a place in Akron Falls Park where Murder Creek drops over the ledge and fills the whole ravine with sound, loudest in May when the runoff is still coming down. Deshe Landscaping & Construction spends that stretch of spring on the lawns nearby — first mows, trimming, edges recut after a winter of being buried. Grass in Newstead wakes up all at once, and the crews that keep pace in May are the ones whose yards look right in August. Cutting the season's opening lines into a lawn is a satisfying way to start a year. It is honest outdoor work, done a short walk from one of the better waterfalls in Erie County.
