About Strabala Grounds Management

Out here the land runs flat to the horizon in every direction, and a Wellman snowstorm doesn't so much fall as blow sideways across the section roads. Strabala Grounds Management clears the long farmstead lanes and gravel driveways that wind between Wellman and the English River bottomland, where drifts pile deep against the tree lines long after town streets are bare. The work starts before first light, because a farm family needs a clear way out to the highway same as anyone with a nine-to-five. Steps and porch landings get shoveled by hand where a truck can't reach, and salt goes down on the spots that ice first — the shaded steps, the stretch by the grain bins. By midmorning the lane is open and the horizon goes quiet again.
