Dennis's Lawn Maintenance

About Dennis's Lawn Maintenance

From Sorosis Park the whole of The Dalles lays itself out below the bluff — brick downtown, the river bending east, Mount Hood standing white behind the shoulder of the hills. Dennis's Lawn Maintenance works the streets under that view, and starts early, because in July the wind and the heat both show up around noon. Mowing, trimming, edging, and a blower pass to leave the concrete bare: the list is short, and the difference it makes to a house is not. Grass in this dry country is something a person has decided to have, and keeping it green and level is a small act of stubbornness worth honoring. The Dalles, Dallesport and the road out toward Dufur make up the regular rounds.
