Two machines run the year on the West Side: one that hums through July and one that growls in January. In the green months Heredia Landscaping, LLC keeps the mowing tight and the trim lines kept tight as well, edges the walks, clears the spring debris and hauls off the autumn leaves the wind stacks against a fence. When the cold turns the grass out at Cove Island Park to brittle straw, the plow goes on and those same driveways get opened before the commute. Salt on the steps, a shovel where the truck cannot fit, the path cleared all the way out to the mailbox. Same properties, same hands, whatever the calendar happens to be doing.
