Up in the Litchfield Hills the first white of the year lands on the high ground around Torrington while the valley below is still only wet. Mark Jacquemin Lawn & Landscape reads that difference for a living: plowing a hillside drive is a question of where the snow gets pushed, not just how fast. Walks are shoveled, the icy pitch by the mailbox gets treated, and the driveway is open before anyone turns on headlights. Warm months bring the mowing rotation, the trimmed edges, the mulched beds and the leaves hauled off. It is the same properties, twice over, in two entirely different lights.
