About Pioneer Horizons Lawn and Landscaping

Baranof Island's rainforest presses close against Sitka on every side, and most winters bring more rain than snow here, but when a cold snap does move in off the Gulf, rain turns to wet snow fast, and the town's hemlock-shaded driveways hold onto it longer than the open streets near the water. Pioneer Horizons Lawn and Landscaping clears those shaded residential driveways and walkways once a storm does arrive, working properties tucked back under the canopy where the ground stays colder and the melt takes longer to reach. Steps and paths get shoveled and sanded against the ice that forms where mist off the sound refreezes overnight. Across the water, Mount Edgecumbe's old volcanic cone often carries a fresh cap of white long after the streets below have cleared. The crew works through it methodically, knowing the next warm front off the Pacific will likely undo the work within days.
