About Phil Hegfors and Son Construction

Spring in Ely does not arrive politely; it breaks loose in a rush of meltwater, the lakes cracking open and the yards turning from gray slush to green in what feels like a week. Phil Hegfors and Son Construction handles lawn care in this old iron-mining town, where the Pioneer Mine headframe still rises above Miners Lake. The work is the first mowing of May and every cut after it, plus the trimming that keeps lines sharp along walks and foundations. A neat property line suits a town that was built on hard work underground. When neighbors stroll past on their way down to the water, the yard is ready to be seen.
