About Great Outdoors Lawn & Landscape

North of town at Hitchcock Nature Center they count hawks off the ridge every autumn, riding the updrafts south along the hills. Down in the yards there is a count of its own going on, and Great Outdoors Lawn & Landscape keeps it: the last mows of the year, the first heavy leaf drop, the day the beds finally go quiet. The work stays the same shape through it — even cutting, trimming at the fence corners, edges held sharp along the walks — with hauling added as the trees let go. Council Bluffs falls can be warm one week and raw the next, so the schedule bends and the standard doesn't. A yard closed out properly in November is a yard that comes back easy in April.
