Mercersburg sits low in the Cumberland Valley with Tuscarora Mountain holding the western sky, so the light there arrives late and leaves slow. Elite Lawn Care Solutions LLC works the lawns beneath it — mowing on a steady cycle, trimming around walls, posts and beds, edging drives and walks, and clearing the ground clean in spring and again once the leaves come off. Valley soil grows well; give it a week of rain in May and it will run away from anybody. The pleasure is all in the finish: a straight border along a brick walk, a lawn that still looks the way it did the hour after it was cut. From the square out toward the orchards and the creek roads, that is the standard held.
