Winkler's Lawn Care & Landscape

About Winkler's Lawn Care & Landscape

North of where Wolf Creek runs into the West Fork of Big Creek, the ground around Pawnee dips into low timbered bottoms before climbing back out to open pasture, and Winkler's Lawn Care & Landscape works both kinds of ground differently once winter sets in. The creek bottoms hold cold air and shadow longer into the afternoon, so ice lingers there on drives and footpaths well after the pastures above have gone to plain wet gravel. The crew that spends summer squaring up landscape beds spends winter squaring up snowbanks instead, pushing drifts back from driveways in straight, deliberate lines rather than leaving them ragged at the edges. By late afternoon, with the light going long and gold across the pasture, the cleared lanes stand out dark and even against the white on either side. It's slow, careful work suited to a place with more creek bottoms than street signs.
