About Hodkinson Enterprises

Wind is the first thing anyone learns about Shell Rock, a Freeborn County township of flat, open farmland where the Shell Rock River runs south out of Albert Lea Lake toward Iowa. In winter that wind crosses the fields with nothing to slow it, sculpting drifts across driveways overnight, and Hodkinson Enterprises answers with snow removal that opens the path again. When the thaw arrives and the river runs high, the work turns to lawn care, with mowing and trimming that keep yards sharp through the green months. In country this level, a straight line done right is its own kind of beauty: a plowed lane, a mowed stripe, an edge as true as a surveyor's line.
