About Workman Landscaping

Before State Street's coffee shops unlock their doors, Workman Landscaping has already worked the lots behind them — the flat commercial stretches of West Lafayette that don't get the postcard view of the Wabash bluff but still need a clean surface for the day's first customers. This is a town that runs on a class schedule and a research park's early meetings, and a parking lot iced over at seven sharp is a problem this crew doesn't let happen twice in the same week. The work here is measured in square footage more than slope, wide lots pushed into neat windrows along a back fence line so nothing blocks a loading dock or a marked space. A lot lined and salted before the first car ever finds it — tire tracks the only mark left on ground that was solid ice an hour earlier — is what a finished morning looks like for this crew. By the time the bluff above the river catches its first sun, the flatter blocks below are already back in business.
