About Zabel Landscaping

North of town, past where the bluffs above the river hold the old earthlodge rings of the Double Ditch village site, the land opens up flat enough that the state capitol's tower is visible for miles in every direction, even through blowing snow. Zabel Landscaping works the properties scattered along that northern edge of Bismarck, where lawns run bigger and driveways run longer than they do downtown, and where wind off the open prairie can undo a morning's clearing by afternoon. The crew that shapes beds and lawns in the growing season spends winter working that same open wind against driveways and approaches instead. A cleared lane out here has to hold against exposure that a tighter, tree-lined street downtown never has to worry about. Whatever the season, the capitol dome stays visible on the horizon, over a landscape that changes completely between July and January.
