About 1 4 All Lawn Care and More

Highway 200 runs east out of Lincoln with the Blackfoot River keeping pace alongside it, and in early June the valley floor turns green almost overnight. That short, generous stretch between the last hard frost and the first snow is the whole working year here, and this lawn care outfit spends it reading yards one at a time. Grass under lodgepole shade grows soft and slow; grass out in the open sun near the highway wants a different height and a different week. Mowing, trimming and edging in Lincoln means knowing which is which, then holding a clean line where turf meets gravel. Cleanups bookend the season, needles and cone litter raked out in spring and again before the passes go white. There is real pleasure in a tidy yard sitting right up against that much national forest.
