Willems Lawn & Landscape

About Willems Lawn & Landscape

A Willems-tended yard in Fairfax tends to show it even under a foot of snow — the bed lines still square, the paver walk still exactly where it was laid, the whole property holding its shape through a season that erases most softer edges. Willems Lawn & Landscape built those beds and walks in the first place, so clearing them in January means working around retaining walls and young trees by memory rather than guesswork, the blade lifting where a border stone sits just under the surface. The Cedar River bottomland around town holds cold air in its low spots, and a driveway that looks clear at noon can glaze over again by the time the sun drops behind the tree line at the property's edge. A walk shoveled to the pavers and salted at the steps keeps a landscaped entry looking the way it was laid out, even in the dead of winter. Squaring a bed line in June and keeping a driveway open in January take the same kind of attention.
