About Top Notch Grounds Maintenance

From Bettendorf's riverfront, the twin spans of the I-74 bridge frame the sky in a way nothing else in town does, and on a still, cold morning the ice built up along the Mississippi's edge holds just as quiet below it. Top Notch Grounds Maintenance clears the lots and walks along that stretch of riverfront, where wind coming straight off the open water freezes standing meltwater into glare ice faster than it does even a few blocks inland. A parking lot cleared there before a shop opens means customers step onto dry pavement instead of testing the ice near the door first. The river itself doesn't freeze evenly — open channels stay dark against the white banks well into the coldest weeks — and that same unevenness shows up in how the lots along it hold or shed their snow from one end of a block to the other. Working that stretch means starting right at the water's edge and moving inland, corner by corner, until the whole corridor is clear.
