About Jensen Landscaping & Lawn Services

West of downtown the ground folds into the wooded hills that run toward Harrison-Crawford State Forest, and Zimmerman Fork cuts a quiet little valley through them that holds cold air like a bowl long after the open fields nearby have warmed a few degrees. Jensen Landscaping works those wooded lanes last in the truck's daily route for exactly that reason — snow under tree cover takes longest to melt off naturally, so it gets plowed with the assumption that ice underneath isn't going anywhere on its own. Driveways cut into a hillside among the trees get salted heavier than an open, sunny lot would need, walking paths for homes set back off the road get shoveled by hand where the truck can't reach, and anything near the fork itself gets checked for the black ice that forms where the creek keeps ground damp. It's slower going under the tree line, but it's exactly the kind of ground where skipping a spot means somebody's driveway stays a sheet of ice until March.
