The first real snow in Colorado Springs almost always cheats, showing up in October while the maples still hold their leaves and the lawn furniture is still out. The Landscaper, LLC is ready before it does, plowing driveways and lots from that first surprise straight through to the last spring storm. Wet early snow packs fast under tires, so the drive gets scraped down rather than merely pushed. Walks are shoveled to full width and the icy patches by the garage are treated before anyone finds them the hard way. Ten days later the sun has erased every trace of it, and the work starts over on the next one.
