Frank's Lawn Maintenance

About Frank's Lawn Maintenance

The Rivanna curls past Pen Park on its way east, and the neighborhoods above it — Greenbrier, the streets off Rio Road — sit on ground that rolls just enough to make a lawn interesting. In winter that roll shows up as a driveway needing a plow before it glazes over and a walk needing shovel and salt before anyone tries the steps. In the growing months Frank's Lawn Maintenance is out with mower and trimmer, edging the walks and clearing the leaf drop that the river-bottom hardwoods send up the hill each fall. Charlottesville hands out a long green season and a short white one, and each leaves a property looking a certain way when it has been handled. That look is the whole reason for the work.
