Walk'N Rohl Poo Patrol

About Walk'N Rohl Poo Patrol

In Brookings the land lies open and the wind comes off the prairie with nothing standing in its way, so a lawn here has to be kept honest — cut even, edged sharp, cleared of whatever hides down in the grass. Walk'N Rohl Poo Patrol works yards on both sides of the Big Sioux, starting early while the dew still reads silver and the campanile bells carry farther than they will by noon. Pet waste gets picked up first, corner to corner and along the fence line, and then the mowing follows in straight parallel passes while the trimmer squares off posts, mailbox and foundation. By the time the light goes flat over McCrory Gardens the yard smells like cut grass and looks finished: a crisp edge running the length of the drive, clippings gone, a lawn a kid can drop into barefoot. When fall turns the cottonwoods, the leaves come up before the first hard prairie wind scatters them down the block, and the season closes tidy. It is plain work, done all the way out to the corners, and a Brookings yard shows every bit of it.
