About Lucky Lawns

On West Boulevard the old elms hold the last hour of daylight above the median, and the lawns beneath them go that particular gold you only get in late August on the high plains. Lucky Lawns keeps those historic-district yards, along with newer ones out toward the hills, cut at a height that can survive a dry Rapid City week. The work is plain and it is exact: mowing, trimming clean to the fence line, edging the sidewalk until the concrete shows a true border again. Aeration and overseeding wait for the cooling nights, because that is when seed here takes hold and not a week before. There is some luck in growing grass at this elevation, and there is also arriving on the day you said you would.
