Spring arrives in the Codorus bottomland as a green that seems to happen overnight, and by the second week of April every lawn in the township needs cutting at once. Emerald Green Lawn and Outdoor Services meets that rush — mowing, trimming around trees and posts, clearing the winter's litter of sticks and matted leaves ahead of the first cut. Ground near the creek stays damp into May, which changes both the mowing height and the day it gets done. Summer into fall, the same properties hold their place on the rotation. A yard that looks cared for is the whole of the report.
