Alaska Shear & Plow

About Alaska Shear & Plow

At four in the morning in June, Kalifornsky is already lit — the sun is up over the Kenai flats long before the coffee is, and the grass has taken another inch while nobody was watching. Alaska Shear & Plow works those early hours along Kalifornsky Beach Road, when the air coming off Cook Inlet is still cold enough to hold a cut line sharp. Mowing, trimming, edging: plain work done carefully, and the proof of it is a stripe that runs true from the driveway out to the alders. A lawn this far north gets a short, hard-charging season, and the answer is to meet it head-on, week after week. By the time the day warms up the yards are finished and the edges look drawn with a straightedge.
