Grass Roots Lawn Care

About Grass Roots Lawn Care

The bluegrass lawns around Holton go dormant by November, roots holding on underground through frost long after the blades on top have browned off — the same yards this crew has walked all summer with a mower now get walked with a shovel instead. Grass Roots Lawn Care treats a snowy driveway the way it treats a lawn in July: pass after even pass until the whole surface is uniform, edges squared at the sidewalk. Out past the edge of town, Banner Creek Reservoir sits frozen and still under a flat winter sky, a quiet marker of how deep winter has gotten into Jackson County. In town, the work is smaller and more immediate — clearing the walk to the door before the school bus comes down the block, salting the porch steps before anyone slips. It is the same ground, the same properties, cared for through the one season when nothing is meant to grow.
