About Boulder Creek Outdoor Living

On the Mesabi the summer is short and the light is long — Mountain Iron holds its June evenings until nearly ten o'clock, and the grass makes the most of every one of them. Boulder Creek Outdoor Living mows through that narrow, generous stretch, when a lawn goes from frost-flat to thick in a matter of weeks. The ground up here is rocky and was made in a hurry, so trimming and edging carry much of the load in making a yard look intentional. Spring cleanup comes late and all at once, right behind the melt; the fall one comes early, ahead of the first real weather off the range. In between, a cut lawn set against the birch and the ore-red hills is a small bright fact of the season.
