About LawnCrafters

When a north wind gets up over the open ground between Eagle Lake and Mankato, the snow does not so much fall as travel sideways. LawnCrafters runs those winter nights — plow, shovel, salt on the walks — so that the drive out to the highway is clear before anyone has to leave for work. The other half of the calendar is mowing and trimming, a weekly circuit through town from the first green push in April to the final cut before Halloween, with cleanups at either end. The two seasons are opposites in every way but one: both get judged from the sidewalk. Get the line right and a property looks cared for whether it's under grass or under snow.
