About Kimball Outdoor Services

The Rifle River runs cold and quick past Prescott, cutting through jack pine and sand on its way south, and the village keeps its yards in the sandy soil the river left behind. Kimball Outdoor Services works with that ground rather than against it — mowing on a rhythm that suits thin soil and hot July, trimming close around pines and posts, and cleaning up in spring and fall when the needles and leaves come down together. Ogemaw County summers are short and bright, so a lawn gets its whole year in about five months and every cut counts toward how it looks in August. Cabins, camps and year-round homes all get the same finish: even height, clean edges, nothing tracked out onto the road. Up here, a well-kept yard against all that pine reads like a light left on.
