About MPK Property Maintenance LLC

Hamburg Cove freezes at its edges first, then holds still while the Eightmile River keeps moving underneath. Winter in Lyme is dark roads, deep woods and long dirt drives, and MPK Property Maintenance LLC plows them — opening driveways, clearing paths and steps, sanding and salting the pitches that Grassy Hill makes unavoidable. There is not a traffic light in town, which is lovely in July and rather less so at four in the morning with two feet down and Nehantic State Forest crowding both sides of the road. Reaching every property before the day begins is the job, plainly stated. In a town this quiet, a cleared drive is a small kindness with a plow attached to it.
