After a summer rain the low meadows along Alloway Creek go almost violently green, and every lawn in Littlestown wants attention at once. Deckert Landscaping-Lawn Care meets that week head-on — mowing at the right height for the heat, trimming the wet edges, cutting a defined line along beds and walks, then blowing the drives and paths clear. Adams County soil holds moisture down in the bottoms and lets go of it fast on the rises, so no two yards in a row ask for quite the same thing. Seasonal cleanups open and close the year, pulling leaves and thatch off the turf so it can breathe. There's a plain kind of pride in a lawn that looks even from one end to the other.
