Grain Valley earned its name from the wide, open ground that once fed grain elevators along the rail line, and even as the town has filled in with newer subdivisions, the open fields at its edges still catch wind the same way they always have. Premier Lawns runs those exposed edge streets first after a storm, since a subdivision built at the tree line takes drift differently than the older in-town blocks tucked closer together near Sni-A-Bar Creek. The crew clears driveways and cul-de-sacs out on the flats with wide passes built for open wind, then shifts to the tighter, older streets downtown where snow tends to pile against foundations instead of blowing clear. Sidewalks along the newer developments get shoveled the full width the town requires, so a stroller or a wheelchair has as easy a path as a car does. By midmorning, the grain-country wind has usually pushed the loose snow into new spots, and the crew makes a second pass on the flats to catch it. Premier Lawns clears driveways, sidewalks, and small lots across Grain Valley, from the open edges to the creek-side streets downtown.
