Stand on the high ground east of Harrisburg and the Big Sioux valley opens up below, a long green trough with the river hiding somewhere in the trees. Up on that rise the wind never quits and the sun gets at everything, which is a hard combination for turf. Dakota Elevated builds the mowing schedule around it, cutting a little taller in the dry weeks and keeping the trimming and edging tight so nothing looks ragged. Fertilization and weed control fill in what the exposure takes out. The reward comes on a still evening, when the whole yard stands even and deep-colored against all that open country.
