Timms Snow Removal & Lawn Care

About Timms Snow Removal & Lawn Care

The old Lincoln Highway bridge still spans the Iowa River at the edge of Tama, its concrete rails spelling out the highway's name for anyone who crosses it, and on a cold morning the river below it runs dark against banks gone white overnight. Timms Snow Removal & Lawn Care clears the streets feeding that bridge along with the rest of town, working the residential blocks before the rail crossing downtown sees its first freight of the day. Tama County mornings carry their cold low along the river bottom, frost holding heaviest where the water keeps the air just damp enough to freeze on contact. The crew's route runs from the bridge approach through the older grid of streets near downtown, then out to the newer lots on the edge of town. The Iowa River has always set the pace of this town, and even half-frozen, it still seems to be the thing everyone's morning runs around.
