French Creek runs high and loud through Union City when the snow finally lets go, and the whole town seems to exhale into mud season. Black Spade Landscaping LLC meets the year at both ends, raking out beds and taking the first cuts once the ground firms up, then mowing, trimming and edging all summer while the hills stay green. Fall brings the leaves down in sheets, and mowers give way to blowers and one last tidy pass. Then the plow goes on, and the same driveways that were mowed in July are opened in January while it is still dark. One property, two seasons, and the same care given to the edge of a lawn as to the edge of a cleared lot.
