About Chris Pine Lawn Care & Boat Docks

The Tippecanoe River runs right along Winamac, the same water where Chris Pine Lawn Care & Boat Docks sets its docks each spring, and come winter that same crew turns to the driveways and lanes near the river's edge, ground that holds its own particular cold once the water beside it goes to ice. Winamac is a small county-seat town, the kind where the courthouse square still anchors everything, and a plow working outward from Market Street reaches the river bottoms before it ever reaches the last farm road out of town. Snow here tends to pile heaviest along the low ground near the water, and a driveway close to the Tippecanoe can hold ice long after the open fields around it have dried back down to bare gravel. Clearing a riverside lane in January with the same care this crew squares up a dock in May — different season, same stretch of water — is just how the work gets done here. By the time the square's shops open for the morning, the river-edge streets already run down to blacktop, the Tippecanoe moving dark and cold just beyond the last cleared driveway.
