About Island Lawn and Home Service

Kodiak grows green the way few places do — rain off the Gulf of Alaska almost daily, sun in long slow evenings, and grass that answers by climbing. Island Lawn and Home Service works those yards through the island's short, generous summer, mowing and trimming and edging until a lawn reads as tended from the road. There is real satisfaction in a clean line where turf meets gravel, in a strip of yard above St. Paul Harbor cut even while the boats come in. Between cuts they clear what the season leaves behind — spruce needles, blown alder, the salmonberry canes that crowd a fence line. Summer here is measured in weeks rather than months, and the work is to make every one of them show.
