About Dunn's Lawn Service, LLC

St. Johns covers barely a fifth of a square mile of north St. Louis County, its postwar brick bungalows set close together on a tight grid of streets not far from where Interstate 170 begins its run south. Dunn's Lawn Service works that compact footprint driveway by driveway, small enough that a single plow route can cover most of it before the morning's over. Because the lots sit so close, clearing one driveway often means being careful of the neighbor's edge just a few feet away, a job that rewards a light touch as much as a strong blade. Overhead, flight paths into the region's airport cross right above these blocks, and Dunn's Lawn Service has plowed these same short driveways under the sound of planes lifting off through falling snow more mornings than not. By midmorning, the little town's tight streets are clear, porch to porch, corner to corner.
