First tracks in new snow belong to whoever gets up earliest, and in the Lasley blocks that is often Little Foot Landscaping Co. Short drives, narrow walks, front steps that have to be safe before the school bus turns the corner — they get cleared, plowed where plowing is called for, and treated for the ice hiding under the powder. When winter finally lets go, the same yards want mowing, trimming and edging, with the trimmings carried off at the end. Modest lots deserve finished corners every bit as much as big ones. Lakewood is full of them, and they are worth the early start.
