Gary's Lawn Mowing & Snow-Blowing Service

About Gary's Lawn Mowing & Snow-Blowing Service

By the time the last plow trucks clear Osage's main roads, Gary's Lawn Mowing & Snow-Blowing Service is still out working the residential avenues, machine humming under streetlights as another few inches get thrown clear of the sidewalk. This is a walking route as much as a driving one, narrow town lots and older sidewalks, the kind of neighborhood where a snowblower crossing a yard at dusk is a familiar sound. Mitchell County snow tends to come heavy and wet off the warmer air lingering over the Cedar Valley, packing down fast if it isn't moved quickly. Working the same yards in July with a mower and again in January with a blower gives this crew a feel for every yard's particular slope and drainage, snow or grass. When the last porch light goes dark and the walk underneath it is clear, the job for that address is done until the sky decides to drop more.
