About All About The Blade Property Maintenance LLC
A blade is a blade, whether it's cutting a summer lawn on the south side or pushing snow off a loading dock downtown, and All About The Blade treats both as the same trade practiced in different weather. Its winter work concentrates around the brick-and-timber buildings of the Warehouse District, where narrow alleys and raised loading docks off Phillips Avenue make for tighter, more particular clearing than a suburban driveway ever does. Old quartzite curbs there hold ice longer than concrete does, so the crew salts by feel as much as forecast, working storefront by storefront before the district's shops and coffee counters open for the day. There's a rhythm to it — truck, shovel, salt, repeat — down block after narrow block until the sidewalks read as clean lines instead of gray slush. By midmorning, when downtown foot traffic picks up, the evidence of the work is mostly just its absence: dry, walkable stone under a Sioux Falls sky still working out whether it's done snowing.
