Town by town — the places we work around

Every community on the Sunrise Side has its own quirks — soil, tree cover, wind and snow all change from town to town. Here's what we run into where you live.

Alpena, MIAlpena County

Our home base. We mow, landscape and plow everything from older neighborhoods near the Thunder Bay River to businesses along US-23 and the downtown shopping district. Lake-effect snow off Thunder Bay means winter accounts here get plowed and salted storm after storm.

Near: Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Bay View Park, Starlite Beach, Island Park & the Alpena Wildlife Sanctuary, Besser Museum, the Thunder Bay River and the downtown US-23 corridor
