Germany Township lies in Adams County's fruit belt, close enough to the Mason-Dixon line that the orchard rows on the ridges seem to run right over into Maryland. Property Lawn Care LLC works the lawns among them — mowing on a steady turn, edging along drives and stone walks, mulching beds, and cleaning the place up when spring opens and again when the leaves come down. Along Alloway Creek the ground stays soft and green late into the year, while the higher fields dry out first, so no two properties are ready on the same week. Adams County light in the evening lies gold across a fresh-cut lawn and makes the effort look easy. Leaving a place even, edged and swept is the whole ambition.
