Midwest Land Management

About Midwest Land Management

In Elk Falls you can hear the town's namesake before you see it: the Elk River sliding over a ledge of rock below the old iron truss bridge. Midwest Land Management handles lawn care in this tiny Elk County town, mowing and keeping grounds in order beneath big shade trees. The country here is rugged by Kansas standards, with the oak-covered Chautauqua Hills folding down toward the river and growth running thick after a wet spring. Managing it means regular cuts, neat edges and holding back the wild where it creeps in at a yard's margins. As a summer afternoon wanes, with the falls murmuring and a fresh-mown lawn glowing in the low sun, Elk Falls feels like a secret worth keeping.
